    • Sloan's original email, that Geiger discovers, is as follows: "Alain, It is with serious concern that I must admit several leadership lapses at SD-6. The cause of which I can only attribute to my moral failings. My own sense of familiarity with two agents in particular has blinded me to some obvious leaks that are responsible for the lack of progress within this cell. Time and again, I have promised success, only to see it falter due to my own blind spot. And even though, many agents within SD-6 have cautioned me regarding the identity of these leaks, I refused to pay attention. But the recent tragedy regarding my wife has caused me to put my responsibilities in order. And I must admit, the blinders are now off, and my hubris will no longer intervene with my abilities to perform as the head of this agency. I have learned that Jack and Sydney Bristow are double agents, working against SD-6. Their true allegiances at this point are unknown. But I intend to make it my top priority to find the truth behind this and root out the threat - and I believe that one Bristow might be able to work against the other. At this point, it would be unfair to reveal the identity of the suspected leaks while I am still gathering intel. However, be assured that once I have incontrovertible evidence, the guilty parties will be made to pay for the transgressions against the alliance." Therefore, Geiger already had the information about Jack and Sydney before the other man checked the keystrokes.
    • Sydney mentions the time Dixon had suspicions about her being a double agent in "The Enemy Walks In."
    • Number 47: This episode has music by AC/DC in it. A = letter #1, C = letter #3. A+C = 4. And seeing how D is letter # 4, D+C = 7 AC/DC equals 47.
    • Number 47: When Sydney accesses server 47, you can see several 47s in the scrolling numbers.
    • Sydney tells Dixon the truth about SD-6 on the same place she told Danny about her job in the first episode.
    • This episode marks the destruction of all SD cells, including SD-6.
    • Number 47: The Alliance purchased a 747 to keep the server airborne.
    • Number 47: Sydney is to track and hack server 47, which is thought to be a network that links all the SD cells.
    • At the console connected to server 47, Sydney connects a Palm Pilot via a USB-connector, but the command she types would've sent the data to the COM(1)-port, not the USB.
    • Kendall says that they found seven SD cells, and there is a screen behind him that beeps as it changes spots on the map. You don't get to see all seven places because the camera goes into a close-up of Kendall's face, but you should hear the beeps. But you only hear five beeps, not seven.

    • Sark: Sydney leaked the intel to the CIA and the rest played out exactly as you predicted it would. So congratulations, sir. The Alliance is gone. Sloane: We shouldn't celebrate yet. As you know, there's much more work to be done. Sark: I just wanted to let you know that phase one is complete.
    • Vaughn (About Jack): Did he get the code? Syd? (Sydney is starting to cry) Sydney: He was compromised. Vaughn: What? Sydney: He just said "Take the surface streets, they're doing some work on the freeway". Vaughn: I don't understand. Sydney: It's a phrase we came up with last year. A code to let one of us know if the other was ever discovered, to warn them to stay away. He's with Geiger now.
    • Sydney: What was wrong with the black one? Do you think it's comfortable wearing clothes like this?
    • Weiss: Hey guys! I just talked to base. We did it; we kicked their asses! (Sydney and Vaughn keep kissing) Hey! Guys! Did you hear what I said? Asses…kicked…
    • Weiss: There's no way that guy (The guy with Sydney on the plane) smells as good as you. Vaughn: Aftershave. I got new aftershave. Weiss: Well, I'd lighten up on it. Vaughn: Yeah? Weiss: Oh yeah... To the point of non-use.
    • Sark: When I met with Geiger this morning, I left his office feeling as unstrung as you look. Sydney: Just so you know, I'm fully strung.
    • Weiss: What is this, the flirting corner? Vaughn: Uh, we're talking. Weiss: Yeah, I figured that out. Uh, there's a meeting…National Security, remember that? It's important…for the people… Sydney: We'll be right there.
    • Weiss: OK, whenever you want to have that talk... Vaughn: What talk? Weiss: Uh, about the cologne, or whatever the hell you're wearing. Vaughn: I'm not wearing any cologne. Weiss: Well, something is going on. No man naturally smells as good as you do right now.
    • Sydney: What? Vaughn: I think you know what. Sydney: I need you to tell me. Vaughn: You need me to tell you what? That when you're on operations, I can't sleep at night. That when we're in debrief I have to force myself to remember what the hell we're supposed to be reviewing when all I want to do is kiss you?
    • Geiger: Jack, I know you are disloyal. I know your daughter is too. Both your files, there were so many red flags, I thought I was in a Russian airport.
    • Sark: The new boss has a dreadful personality, don't you think? Sydney: I've seen worse. Sark: Am I supposed to take that personally?
    • Vaughn: And the thing that makes me crazy every day is people that would kill us if we're seen together - the Alliance, SD-6, Sloane - are the very forces that brought you into my life to begin with. What kind of a sick joke is that?

    • Visual: Syndey looking like Princess Leia The situation with Sydney and Macor on the plane; his lecherous and grotesque demeanor, her strangling him with the wire, are very much reminiscent of Leia and Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Further, the outfit she changes into looks so very much like Princess Leia's suit for most of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, that it's almost uncanny. Even her hair suggests a correlation. Finally, when she is sucked out of the airplane it's almost exactly like when Luke is pushed through the broken window in the bowels of Cloud City.
