When Pam is in the bathroom stall, we can see her name written in graffiti on the wall behind her. This is a recurring theme that pops up in several other Archer episodes.
-
In the 401k list on Cyril's computer, several ISIS employees are listed that have never been seen: John Baxtor, Samantha Munroe, Heather Baker, and Jeff Chapman. Hector Ruiz also appears on the list, despite having been killed in the season 1 episode "Diversity Hire".
-
When Cyril is looking at 401k information on his computer, we see "Doctor Krieger" on the list. It was mentioned in the episode "A Going Concern" that Krieger is not any kind of doctor, but his first name appears to actually be "Doctor".

The translation from Lana and Benoit's French exchange:
Lana: Oh, nous excusez, mon ami! Elle est fatiguée. (Oh, excuse us, my friend! She's tired.)
Benoit: Et mal élevée. (And rude.)
Lana: Sans doute. Mais vous avez un reservation pour moi, non? (Without a doubt. But you have a reservation for me, no?) Lana Kane?
Benoit: Non. (No.)
Lana: What?! Et pourquoi non?! (And why not?!)
Benoit: C'est le Gran Prix! (It's the Gran Prix!)
-
When Ray hits someone with Malory's purse, he asks, "What does she have in here, buckles?" This is a callback to the first episode "Mole Hunt" where Archer asks the same thing as Malory is hitting him with her purse.
-
Both Lana and Malory say that they've never seen Archer really drunk (except, in Malory's case, for that one time as a child). However, they saw Archer drunk at a party in the early season 1 episode "Training Day".
-
The location of the hotel keeps changing based on the shots. The hotel is established as being on the Grand Prix circuit, but from Archer's room we see the hotel is too high up to be near the circuit. When the cars travel from right to left in front of the hotel, this could only happen at turns 3 & 4, but these turns have inclines and curves which don't appear. There's also a shot of the foliage across the street (before zooming on Archer in the hot tub) that places the hotel on the start/finish straightaway, but the cars are traveling in the wrong direction - the straightaway is too long to be confused with any other location on the track. In addition, in the final chase, the cars travel past non-existing locations or in the wrong direction - this is established by where the cars are stopped and the order they reach locations compared to when they cross the part of the course that passes next to the yachts/docks.
-
GPS Coordinates for ISIS headquarters are shown as 33.806333, -84.344165. These coordinates are in Atlanta, Georgia, where Archer is created.
-
This is the fourth time Brett is shot on the series, apparently earning him the nickname "Mr. Bloodmobile", and causing the other characters to be dismissive of his gunshot wound.
-
Archer marvels at the ocelot's tufted ears, but ocelots don't have tufted ears. Bobcats and lynxes do.
-
When Cyril is making his fake ransom call, the screen behind Malory in the control room shows a myriad of characters from the show. In addition to all the main ISIS characters, it includes Brett Buckley, Popeye, Barry Dillon, Rudy, Conway Stern, Nikolai Jakov, Jakov's assistant, Captain Lammers, Mannfred, and Ramon Limon.
-
The blast doors at the base of ISIS show Pam's name in graffiti. This is a recurring theme that pops up in several other Archer episodes.
-
The yellow cabs at the beginning of the show are not and were never NY cabs. They are similar in shape to the Mercedes W108 & W109 chassis, which was more likely a taxi in Europe, but as seen later in this episode - the phone call from the kidnappers is traced to the ISIS office which is in Manhattan, NY.
-
When Krieger is burning documents in the toilet, the cover page says "Streng Geheim". This is German for "Top Secret".
-
The translation from Archer and Krieger's Portuguese exchange:
Archer: Sim. (Yeah.)
Krieger: And you're taking tetraphenol orally, right?
Archer: E também portuguese, em cdrom. (And also portuguese, on cdrom.)
Krieger: Ah, boa sorte! (Ah, good luck!)
Archer: Obrigado. (Thanks.) I dunno Krieger, maybe it's just because I'm a badass, but chemotherapy? It's kind of a breeze.
Krieger: Yeah, that's my point. Two weeks of chemo with no hair loss and you're not experiencing any nausea?
Archer: Nao, gracas a "doobie" medicinal. (No, thanks to the medicinal "doobie".)
-
The translation from Cyril and Krieger's German exchange:
Cyril: Warum hast du umzug nach Brasilien? (Why did you move to Brazil?)
Krieger: Weiter den kampf der mein Fuhrer... schiesse. (To continue the fight of my Fuhrer... ****)
-
When Cyril mentions spending last night "getting worked over by the cops", Ray's response is, "Fun! Oh, you mean literally." This is a callback to the season 1 episode "Honeypot", where Charles says the exact same line to Archer.
-
The clothes that Woodhouse is wearing when he is about to leave on vacation are the ones that Charles and Rudy gave him in the season 1 episode "Honeypot".
-
Lana asking "What are you, hourly?" is a callback to the episode "The Double Deuce", where Reggie says the same thing to Woodhouse.
-
When we hear the studio head on the phone near the end of the episode, it is the same voice that came out of Jakov's assistant's voice modulator earlier in the episode.
