- Holtz says "For two hundred years I dreamt of nothing but this moment." However, in the previous episode, "Quickening" (3x08) Sahjhan says to Holtz, "I know it seems like only a moment to you." This implies that Holtz would not have actually "dreamt" of anything, unless he was simply being poetic.

- When the Union Demon tells Sahjhan and Holtz about Darla coming to Caritas, his mouth keeps moving after Lorne's voice stops and the camera pulls out.

- Lilah: They don't crucify here - it's too Christian. Incidently, Christians have never crucified. It was a method of execution used by the Roman Empire and banned when Christianity became the state religion.

- When Holtz blows up Caritas, they show a clip of it from the inside being blown up. If you watch carefully on the floor, you can see a wire or string going across-pulling all the chairs & tables inside -as if they were being blown away from the blast itself.

- Ar Hyd y Nos, the lullaby Holtz keeps singing was not written until 1784, 20 years after his family's death, and 11 years after his meeting with the demon that is to transport him to the 21st century.

- Lilah: Harvey? It's Lilah. I got a job for you... Angel Investigations. Yeah, full cleaner service.
  The writers may be giving a nod to Harvey Keitel's character from the film "Point of No Return." Mr. keitel played a character called Victor the Cleaner who cleaned up messes similar to the one Lilah refers to in her phone call to Harvey. A year later Keitel played a character similar to his "Cleaner" role in a little old movie titled... Pulp Fiction.

- Holtz: Sleep my love, and peace attend thee...
  This is the first line of an ancient Welsh folk song "Ar Hyd y Nos". Its English lyrics are believed to have been written by Amelia Opie.
