In the scene when Bob is talking to Claire in the football field at school. When Claire runs away from Bob, we can see three shadows, Bob's, Claire's and the cameraman who shot the scene. edit »
When Noah and West arrive at the house to find Sandra tied up, her hands are behind the chair in the long shot, but in the next close up you can briefly see that her hands are free, and sitting on her lap. edit »
Goof: When West take off with Claire, they are flying toward the Sun but on the next shot, we see Mohinder looking up in the wrong direction according to his own shadow. edit »
Elle is drinking a "Slusho" as she is waiting for Mr. Bennet to arrive.

Slusho is a fictional drink created by JJ Abrams for his series Alias. The director of this episode has also directed two episodes of that show which explains its appearance here.

Slusho was also the temporary name of JJ Abrams' 2008 monster movie Project: Cloverfield (in which Greg Grunberg who plays Matt Parkman has a part). edit »
Goof: In the faraway shot when Elle directs her electric blast on West when he's flying with Claire, they begin to drop downward. But in the closeup shot afterward, they're still going upward before West is zapped prior to their dropping down. edit »

(West is holding Noah while he flies very high)
West: Remember me? Then you know I don't have super-strength. I can't hold on forever.
Noah: What do you want?
West: Answers.
Noah: We took you to study your ability.
West: No, I don't care about any of that. Claire. Was she working with you? Or for you? Did she ever really care about me?
Noah: Claire never even mentioned you existed. You hear me? She lied to me. So I'm guessing you're pretty important to her. edit »
Bob: Have you been working on your sharpshooting? I don't want you to get too close to Bennet.
(To Mohinder)
Elle: Hey Fight Club, check this out. edit »
Noah: I need to speak to your father.
Elle: What do you think, this is my first day? edit »
Claire: No matter what I do, this is never gonna end, is it, Dad? We�re always gonna be running.
Noah: Do not walk out of that door!
Claire: What are you gonna do? Tie me up?
Noah: If I have to. (grabs duct tape) edit »
Matt: (to Molly) If you wanna help, help me put the nightmare man behind us, so we can get back to normal. Okay, and just be a little girl, go to school, have fun. And I�ll be an underpaid cop. Deal? edit »

Elle: Hey Fight Club, check this out!

This is a reference to the movie Fight Club (1999) staring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. Elle says it because Mohinder, like the main character of that movie, is beaten up and has a broken nose. edit »
