    • Number 47: McCullough asks Noah about the 47 million dollars that was transferred and then withdrawn to an untraceable account.
    • Jack's real name is Jonathan Donahue Bristow.
    • Vaughn's dog is named Donovan.
    • Goof: Noah Hicks is left handed. When Noah and Sydney go to retrieve the "data core" in "Masquerade", Noah fires the AK-47 with his left hand. Then when they go in this episode, to Capetown, Noah uses his right hand to stun the guards with the sniper rifle, once inside however when he fires the magnetic grappling hook he again uses his left hand again. Perhaps Noah is ambidextrous and able to use both hands effectively.
    • Irina is not played by Lena Olin in this episode. Another actress plays her, in a video supposedly shot during a KGB briefing in the 1980's.
    • When the SD-6 team is in Australia to pick up Calder, they are briefed outside his house in a van. Agent Dixon is sitting in the driver's seat (left front) talking over his shoulder to Sydney. This is a blooper as in Australia they drive on the left side of the road, therefore the driver's seat would have been the right front seat.
    • Both Sloane and Vaughn mispronounce Mackay, the town in Queensland, Australia where Sydney is sent to find Calder. They pronounce it "Mack-ay", the end rhyming with the letter A, when it's actually pronounced "Mack-ye", rhyming with the letter I.

    • (Sydney is watching the video footage of Laura. Khasinau asks Laura her name in Russian) Laura: My Russian or American name? Khasinau: Why not both? Laura: Irina Derevko and Laura Bristow. Khasinau: When were you recruited for special duties? Laura: In 1970, I was recruited to the KGB by you, Alexander Khasinau. Khasinau: Describe the objective of your operation. Laura: Phase One. I was to pose as an American. A student of Literature. Phase Two. I was to make the acquaintance of a particular officer in the Central Intelligence Agency. To insinuate myself into his life. To become his confidante. Earn his trust. Khasinau: Please state the officer by name. Laura: Officer Jonathan Donohue Bristow. Khasinau: Phase Three. Laura: Phase Three I was to begin to acquire, through various means, details of the CIA operation to which Bristow was assigned. Project Christmas.
    • Vaughn: The Snowman. He's been spotted in Mackay. Sydney's there, too. He's going after Calder to get to Khasinau. Can you think of a way to contact Sydney, put out a warning?
    • Sydney: You're not really going to Banku, are you? Noah: No. Tuvalu. It's an island in the South Pacific. I, uh, talked to my contact. He says now's my window. I'm leaving tonight and we could go together. Sydney: Sometimes, all I want to do is disappear. Just let all this go. And just start over again.
    • (Jack is watching the video footage of Laura.) Khasinau: How did you acquire your intel? Laura: Every night for ten years I went through his briefcase. I eavesdropped on all of his private conversations. I planted listening devices on his clothing. He was blinded by his emotions. He knew nothing. I can tell you one thing: "Jack Bristow was a fool".
    • Jack: Tippin didn't turn out to be a problem, did he? Sloane: Sydney wasn't intimate with Tippin. She is with Hicks. Jack: I'm not sure that's my business, and I know it isn't yours.
    • Vaughn: Mr. Kishell, I appreciate you talking to me. I know this must be very difficult. Kishell: I know difficult. Talk is easy.
    • Jack: (to Sydney) SD-6 has run an additional profile on Noah. There were anomalies, including recent bank activity which suggested he may have ties to K-Directorate. Noah's been taken into custody by security section.
    • Sydney: Dad, he was KGB. It wasn't just Mom's death they faked. It was Calder's, too. If we can get to Calder, maybe we can find Khasinau.
    • Sydney: You know I can't do that. Noah: Why? Sydney: Well, for about a million reasons. Noah: I highly doubt there are a million reasons. There might be fifty, and I'd like the opportunity to refute all of them. Sydney: One of the biggest reasons that comes to mind is my mother. Khasinau was her superior. My mother was a spy for the KGB and those files that we recovered may help me find her. I'm not going anywhere until I know where she is.
    • (Noah Hicks is at his work station at SD-6, two agents approach him) Agent: Mr. Hicks will you come with us please Noah: Is there a problem? Agent: Mr. Sloane asked for you to come with us. Noah: Well that's never a good thing.
    • Noah Hicks: Hey Dixon... I just keep trying to think of some kind of opening, something to start off with, talk to you. Dixon: Noah, I'll be straight with you, I don't trust you, which wouldn't be such a problem except I'm an intelligence officer, and if you stick around sooner or later my life is going to be in your hands and yours in mine, and in that scenario the only person truly safe will be you.
    • Marshall: Listen, I know I've been somewhat impressed with myself in the past, but this time I am, like, freaking out about it. Sloane: Marshall, could you just tell me what? Marshall: I used a signal lost recovery procedure to examine the low-level data sector. I created a raw image - Sloane: Marshall! What did you do? Marshall: I found Valenko. I mean Calder. Well, it's the same guy, right? Well, I found him!
    • Marshall: 0.05DBs is closer to, like, a sound of a cockroach rubbing his legs together. You know... reeeeer, reeeeeer.

    • Visual: Sydney hanging from the ceiling to retrieve data. The scene when Sydney is hanging in-between two wires and the rope begins to loosen is reminiscent of to the scene from Mission: Impossible where Tom Cruise is in the same situation.
