  • Earl: Darnell always told us his dad died in the American-Canadian War. []
  • Joy: You told me your daddy died in a Ferris wheel accident. That's why you never ride them.

Allusions

  • Thomas: I'm getting too old for this crap.

    Danny Glover (Thomas) used this punchline in the Lethal Weapon movies as well. []
  • The name of the episode and the government operative events refer to the canceled ABC TV show Alias, a show about a counter-government agency operative. []
  • When the bomb is about to go off, the scene cuts into four separate images. The sound effects and the ticking clock the same ones used in the Fox TV show 24. []
