When searching for Holtz in Angel's Wolfram and Hart file, Liliah attempts to remember what Angel called him while they were at the hotel. However, she was just watching survalience footage of Angel Investigations talking about Holtz by name and the whiteboard with Holtz's name on the top was clearly visable in the corner of their screen.
When Wolfram & Hart are reviewing the tape of Lorne passing the note to Angel, the magnified view is not quite the same shot as the view they paused on initially. Also in that shot, Linwood says to "magnify 100 times". In reality, the first magnification is about 6.25 times (i.e., 2.5 times in each direction). When he says "again", the magnification is about 16 times...or about 100 times between the two. Had it actually been 100 times in both cases, we would have seen only a small portion of the note filling the entire screen.
While Angel is spouting off the plan for him to run off with the baby, the blanket is covering the baby's face. This might be because the baby is in fact the teddy bear and the real baby is elsewhere. It is generally a bad idea to smother one's child with his own blanket.
Lilah Morgan's Wolfram & Hart clearance number is 0112773, which is also her elevator access code (as seen in other episodes).
Just before Angel tells Wesley to stall when he's fleeing with the bomb, the camera angle switches to a closer shot, and the bomb switches from arm to arm.
Why does Angel talk to the fake "baby" in the car while leading everyone away from the hotel and the real child? I can understand that it works for the dramatic tension and making the audience think that the baby is really in danger, but within the actual Whedon-verse it makes no sense. Unless Angel assumes his car has been bugged too, but there's no indication that he thinks that or that Wolfram & Hart ever went near his car. What's the deal with that?
When Angel is driving his car being chased by all the monsters, for a short clip the car's roof is gone.
The tape of Lorne handing Angel the note and the real Lorne giving Angel the note don't match up. Lorne gives Angel the note earlier in the tape than he actually does.
In some wide shots of the Hyperion, the signs indicating the real name of the site, Los Altos Hotel and Apts, are clearly visible. The signs also switch from being lit to unlit.
The hospital seem curiously unconcerned about a battered, bruised group of people coming in with a child, saying the mother is gone, and having the father race in at the last minute to claim the child without displaying any kind of I.D.
The fake baby stand-in is noticeably smaller and stiffer than the real baby in the other shots.
Angel climbs out of a square sewer access tunnel that has a round manhole cover.
The baby's scratch keeps disappearing and reappearing as the baby wipes off the make-up and they reapply it between shots.
Angel: (to Linwood) My son's got a tiny scratch on his cheek and now so do you. I'm holding you responsible for anything that happens to him. A cold, a sunburn, a scratched knee. Whatever happens to him, happens to you, and then some. Not only are you not coming after him you'll make sure he lives a long, healthy life. You just became his godfather. Understand?
Wesley: You nearly had sex on my desk so I shouldn't be surprised there's a baby on it.
Angel: We'll get through this, I promise. The vampire/demon/biker posse, that's the easy part. (the Hum-vee following rams his car from behind) The part that scares me - is all the questions. Why is the sky blue. Why do people get sick. Why is there always pigs' blood in the fridge? I don't have all the answers. Well, I do to that last one.
Angel: I'm his only family. My job now is to be everything for him. Cordy: Really? Okay. Follow me. Come on. (Takes Angel outside) Angel: Where are we going? Cordy: Come on. Angel: Cordelia... Cordy: We're going outside, where your son's gonna wanna go play, where you'll have to rush him to the hospital if he gets sick in the daytime. But I see your point. You can't go outside in the day like other parents because - you're a vampire. And even if you weren't, you can't do everything for him. Angel: (Puts his arm into the sunlight and it starts to burn) If he has to get to the hospital at noon on the sunniest day of the year, he'll get there - even if I don't.
Cordy: (To Angel) So, you're just gonna leave? Gunn: Sure, it's what he does best. You sure you don't wanna fire us first?
Cordelia: (reading a book on baby health care) Are you going to circumcise?
Lorne: Oh, just listening to those Furies gives me whiplash! Thank god they finally left. My head was about to pop off, which, granted, not that big a deal.
Gunn: What are you doing? Wesley: Trying to imagine myself as John Wayne in Rio Bravo, you? Gunn: Austin Stoker, Assault on Precinct Thirteen. Cordy: If we live through this, trade in the DVD players and get a life.
Lorne: (about Angel) Good morning, all. Is that bacon I smell or did somebody fall asleep with the curtains open?
Wesley: Did you know these diapers are lined with a space-age material originally designed for NASA astronauts? - Interesting. Though now I'm picturing grown men wearing nappies and am rather disturbed.
Cordy: (to Angel) You don't have a woman's touch, whatever your taste in clothing may indicate.
Lorne: He doesn't like Smokey Robinson and the Miracles? I thought you said this kid had a soul.
Linwood: I like kids. The Senior Partners took mine before I really got to know them.
This episode scored a rating of 3.8/5 in the overnight Nielsen ratings, ranking 8th out of 18 WB shows for that week.
Charisma Carpenter does the "Previously on Angel" voiceover.
Written on the list of possible threats to the child is The Scourge, the Nazi-esque pure-demons from the first season episode 'Hero' (1x09).
This episode introduces Laurel Holloman who will play Justine.
Lorne moves into the hotel after the destruction of Caritas in the previous episode 'Lullaby' (3x09).
Gunn: What are you doing? Wesley: Trying to imagine myself as John Wayne in Rio Bravo. You? Gunn: Austin Stoker. Assault on Precinct 13. Wesley and Gunn both refer to movies where the protagonists must hold out while being besieged by unstoppable forces. John Wayne needed to hold off a rancher's hired guns from a county jail, while Austin Stoker had to defend an almost-deserted police station from a street gang.
When Cordy (and later the doctor) talk about a PKU test, this refers to Phenylketonuria. PKU is a genetic disorder leading to a very limited ability to process a specific enzyme found in most proteins (and thus, nearly all foods). Untreated, it can cause mental retardation and seizures, amongst many other symptoms, thus it is normally screened for at birth.
Lilah: Dusted during childbirth is more like it. According to our sources she staked herself, leaving the baby alive and kicking but never actually born. MacDuff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped.
In Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' the Witches' prophecy was that "...none of woman born shall harm Macbeth"
Unfortunately for Macbeth, the Scottish nobleman Macduff was "from his mother's womb untimely ripped" and thus not naturally born of woman. Macduff was the only agent capable of destroying Macbeth.
