When Sydney and Sark are under mission in Paris, they use a "Gendarmerie" vehicle as a cover. However, in France, the "Gendarmerie" (equivalent to US Sheriff department) functions only in rural areas (with a population no more than 20 000), while in a big city like Paris, it should have been the "Police Nationale".
This episode has the longest teaser (the part of the show that airs before the opening credits) of the entire series and runs a whopping 17:39 long. Given that - with out commercials, the average 1 hour show is about 42 minutes, almost half of this episode is shown before we see the opening credits.
Goof: The Ewoks are indigenous to the forest moon of Endor. Not the planet Ednor.
The "leak in SD-9 last year" that Kane plugged is a reference to Edward Poole (guest star Roger Moore) from "The Prophecy".
Jack and Irina will probably not be married anymore. Irina's presumptive death, for over 20 years, will have legally terminated their marriage.
Irina was 18 when recruited by the KGB.
Number 47: Marshall says he memorized the FAA 747 flight ops manual.
"Suit and glasses" is now in a wheelchair. Probably due to Will's actions on him in "Almost Thirty Years".
Goof: Marshall is sent into the field with Sydney to help break encryption because Sydney says that she can't do advanced calculus in her head. Encryption has nothing to do with calculus, but is based on algebra, a completely different branch of math.
Ariana Kane: (to Sloane) Contrary to what you tell your subordinates, we are not the US government, I don't need "Probable Cause" to go after Bristow, all I need is a hunch.
Ariana Kane: With whom have you had intimate contact with over the last 10 years Agent Bristow? Jack: I'm curious to see where you're going with this. Ariana Kane: More secrets have been revealed through pillow talk, than through torture, if there's a prostitute or stewardess out there you think may have heard you talking in your sleep, I need to know about it. Jack: There is one way for you to verify if my nocturnal activities are a security risk Mrs. Kane, but somehow I think we'd both prefer the torture.
(Sloane lays out a mission in the conference room) Sloane (to Sydney): That's why you're going in with Marshall. Marshall: Marshall who? (Marshall looks at everyone in the room, they all stare back) Wait a minute, what!?
(Will takes a CIA psychological profile test) Will: I can't believe some of the questions they asked: "If forced to chose, who would you rather kill? A) Your mother B) Your father C) Yourself." And "None of the above" wasn't even an option, I mean what the hell does that mean?
Irina (to Jack): Technically we may still be husband and wife.
(Sydney and Sark go on a mission to Paris) Sark: You know it's a pity we're traveling separately, we could've used the opportunity to get to know each other better. Sydney: Yeah, I'm broken up about that too.
(SD-6 fails to acquire the nukes in India) Sark (to Sloane): With all due respect Sir, could the leak have come from this office?
Jack: You were right. Although our marital contract was founded on fraudulent pretenses, it's still valid until it's annulled. Which means, technically, we are still married. Irina: Jack. Thus far, I've agreed to be debriefed only by Sydney. From now on, I'm willing to talk to you, too.
Will: You ever have a dream where you're back at school and they won't let you graduate because you failed a test? I had that last night. Vaughn: Well, we don't screen for general knowledge. It's strictly a psych profile. Will: So I can't fail but I can find out I'm a sociopath.
Sark: You're surprisingly adept at keeping your curiosity in check. Sydney: Don't flatter yourself. Sark: I'm referring to the fact that your mother and I worked together before I arrived here - before she... went into hiding. I learned a lot from her. In some ways, I think of her as a mother myself.
Vaughn: Oh, by the way, I'm meeting with Will tomorrow to help him prep for his psych evaluation. Sydney: Thank you. And I like it. Vaughn: What? Sydney: Your new suit. Vaughn: Oh. It's not new. I just... don't wear it that often. I came from a funeral. Alice's father died.
Sydney: Marshall has a photograpic memory. Once the files flash across the screen, he'll remember them. Vaughn: Yes, we know that. Sydney: I can't just give SD-6 a fake Marshall!
Marshall: You know what I always say - if it ain't Baroque, don't fix it!
Ariana Kane: I don't trust anyone who doesn't have the sense to know when he's being insulted.
Sydney: (to Will) But after Danny and what happened to you, I've accepted the fact that it's as a gesture of love to deceive the people I care about.
Ariana Kane: Men always call women crazy when they're caught with their pants down.

Marshall: I think I said: "I can smell you from here," in Ewok. Sydney: Ewok? Marschall: The official language of the indigenous creature of the planet Endor. The Ewoks and Endor are references to the movie Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi.
Marshall: You know what I always say - if it ain't Baroque, don't fix it! This is a reference to the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast where a Clock says the same thing.
