KRLH, the TV station the Wallaces are watching, are actually call letters for a religious radio station in southern California. It is the same channel the Araz family was watching after the train derailment on Day 4.
Stephen Merchant, long time writing partner of Ricky Gervais and co-star of the British comedy Extras, makes a guest appearance as an office worker at CTU early in the episode.
Lennox: Our country is under siege! Now, you're the National Security Advisor, Karen. Frankly, I'm surprised by your resistance!
Karen: These places that you keep building...they're nothing more than concentration camps!
Lennox: 'Detention facilities.' And the criteria for determining who shall be detained are very reasonable.
Karen: Reasonable?! This revised plan of yours justifies locking up every American who prays toward Mecca!
Lennox: (scoffs) That's a ridiculous exaggeration, and you know it.
Fayed: Because of your deception, I will now have to think about giving you Assad.
Nadia: But what about our deal? Fayed (in Arabic) where's your honor?
Morris: You're really settling well into the whole middle management thing, aren't you?
Milo: What's your problem with me?
Morris: I liked you just fine as an analyst- actually, you were very good. As a boss- bit of a bore.
Buchanan: Chloe, look at me.
Chloe: I'd rather not, sir.
Fayed: That's right, Jack. CTU is about to kill the wrong man. Assad isn't behind these attacks. He's come here to stop them. He's come here to stop me.
Karen: If we don't take out Assad...
Buchanan: I don't need a lecture, Karen, I know what the stakes are.
Karen: I don't think you do. If these attacks don't stop, there are people in this administration who are willing to tear up the Constitution in the name of National Security.
Lennox: For what it's worth, your brother would be doing just the same thing.
Wayne: But it doesn't make it right.
Jack: (quietly) Audrey...
Buchanan: Audrey doesn't know that you're back.
Jack: My daughter.
Buchanan: Kim doesn't know either.
Jack: You keep it that way.
(Curtis and Bill waiting for Jack's plane to stop)
Curtis: The president must have given up a lot to make this happen.
Buchanan: I wish he were coming back under better circumstances. We don't know what his state of mind will be. If he doesn't cooperate, we must be prepared.
Morris: You're a hottie.
Chloe: No, I'm not.
Morris: Yes, you are, now deal with it.
Milo: I've told you 20 times, you don't send out a report without a certified header on it.
Morris: Well, this makes 21, you should update your count.
Milo: Do you, and I'm just curious, ever open your mouth without sarcasm spilling out of it?
Morris: (sarcastically) Sorry, are we done here?
Milo: Look, I'm just trying to tell you, be careful, otherwise you will find yourself back selling ladies shoes in Beverley Hills.
Lennox: (yelling at Karen) Security has its price!
Wayne: So does freedom, Tom.
Buchanan: Chloe, look at me.
Chloe: I'd rather not, sir.
TV Reporter: America has been victimised again. Last night's terrorist attack in San Antonio is now the latest in a series of bombings that began 11 weeks ago in 10 different cities. Over 900 people have been killed thus far, and while no-one is claiming responsibility for this wave of death, evidence points to Islamic Militants.
Wayne: Jack, I've been trying to think of what I could possibly say to you, after all that you've sacrificed for this country; what you've done for me in the past, and of course, what you've done for my brother, David. This is a desperate measure, Jack, believe me, I know, but it is also a measure of our desperation. People are afraid to come outside, they are afraid to leave their homes, Jack, I mean, they are starting to turn against each other.
Jack: Bill Buchanan explained the situation, sir. I know what's happening; I understand what's expected of me.
Buchanan: (To Chloe) Don't think you're the only one mourning Jack; you're not.
Buchanan: I don't know what to say Jack.
Jack: Do you understand the difference between dying for something and dying for nothing? The only reason I fought so hard to stay alive in China was because I didn't want to die for nothing. This day I can die for something. My way, my choice. To be honest with you, it will be a relief.
This episode marks the first time that the Oval Office has been depicted on-camera on 24.
This episode marks the third time that CTU has traded Jack Bauer for a terrorist. Each time it turned out to be part of the terrorist plot the whole time.
The DVD box set for Season 5 contains a 10-minute bonus prequel that gives us a look at Jack's life while he was held in China. It takes place seven months after Day 5. It shows him being brutally tortured for information by Cheng. When Jack stays silent, Cheng uses an elaborate escape set-up to trick Jack into outing a Chinese spy. The prequel was again sponsored by Toyota and is exclusive to the Region One DVDs.
In the stand-alone DVD, containing the first 4 episodes of Season 6, Kiefer Sutherland does not appear in the main cast credits at the beginning of the episode; however, in the episode's original TV airing, his name is there.
Eric Balfour smashed the record of longest break between appearances. He last appeared on episode 16 of Season 1, making it a 105 episode gap. The previous record was 46 episodes, held by Mia Kirshner.
This episode, along with the next 3, was released on a standalone DVD the week it was broadcast. However, advance copies were leaked onto the internet a week before it was aired.
Carlo Rota (Morris), DB Woodside (President Wayne Palmer), Eric Balfour (Milo Pressman), Jayne Atkinson (Karen Hayes), Marisol Nichols (Nadia) and Peter MacNicol (Tom Lennox), are added to the main cast, while Gregory Itzin (President Charles Logan), Jean Smart (Martha Logan), Kim Raver (Audrey Raines) and Roger Cross (Curtis Manning), are taken out of the main cast.
Fox again aired the first four hours of the season as a two-night, four-hour premiere.
Jack Bauer biting his enemy in the neck may be an allusion to Kiefer Sutherland's role as David in the 1987 movie, The Lost Boys, where he played a vampire.
