    • Sweets' band is Gormogon which is a reference to the story arc of season three, where they were trying to catch a serial killer dubbed Gormogon. Sweets also clarifies that the band is called Gormogon, not him, which references "The Pain in the Heart" where Sweets is accused of being Gormogon by Cam.
    • Vincent: (to Zack) Because you're the kind of moron that goes to jail for a murder he did not commit.
      This comment references information revealed in "The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond." Wherein Zack tells Sweets, confidentially, that he never actually committed murder—he only felt responsible for it.

    • Jared Booth, who in this episode assumes a law enforcement role similar to that of his brother Seeley's, is wearing the "Cocky" belt buckle that Seeley is often seen wearing.
    • Goof: In the last scene, when Hodgins is doing a voice-over of what Brennan is typing on a laptop, the last line of Hodgins' voice-over (which Brennan whispers along with) is "Burdens that allow us to fly." -- but on the screen of Brennan's laptop it says "Burdens which allow us."
    • Sweets: Some people think I'm Gormogon, but I'm not. The name of Sweets' band in this episode is Gormogon -- Gormogon is the cannibalistic serial killer from season 3. Sweets was at one point suspected of being Gormogon, although it was found by the end of the season that he was not.

    • Hodgins: (voiceover) Violent death, murder, it sends out shockwaves. The closer you are to it, the greater the shock.
    • Hodgins: (voiceover; about Booth and Brennan) A storm approaches. It is still over the horizon, but there is lightning in the air. Are either of them aware of the gathering turbulence? Can they feel the crackle of electricity in the wind? Or are they aware of only the power that they generate between themselves?
    • Brennan: Cam says everybody thinks I'm a cold fish. Booth: What you are is Iceland. Cool to the touch, but underneath, you're all volcano.
    • Detective Saroyan: Should I mark your people down as stupid or uncooperative? Caroline: Put 'em down as well-represented. Detective Saroyan: How about I put 'em down as accessories after the fact?
    • Detective Saroyan: You're the hostess. You see everyone who comes in. Angela: Um maybe if you had a picture of him alive? I don't have a very good visual imagination.
    • Hodgins: (voiceover) The thought of losing so much control over personal happiness is unbearable. That's the burden. Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens that allow us to fly.
    • Hodgins: People say you only live once. But people are as wrong about that as they are about everything.
    • Angela: Well if we didn't do it then, why do we need a lawyer? Daisy: I didn't kill anyone. Wendell: Zack screamed when he saw the body, so he's off the hook right? Zack: Yelped. Fisher: He screamed like Slutty Girl #1 on a teen horror flick.
    • Zack: (discovering a gun among Vincent's stuff) Why do you have a gun? Vincent: Wa- oh! Oh! Oh! I'm English. Alright?! We don't use guns, we use our foreheads.
    • Vincent: I'm not going to fare well in jail ... I'm lovely.
    • Hodgins: (voiceover) You love someone, you open yourself up to suffering, that's the sad truth. Maybe they'll break your heart, maybe you'll break their heart and never be able to look at yourself in the same way. Those are the risks.
    • Vincent: You and I are not in collusion. Zack: Why not? Vincent: Because you're the type of moron who goes to jail for a murder he didn't commit.
    • Brennan: So you're a murderer, I'm unfaithful. We are a very exciting couple.
    • (in the real world) Brennan: You've been in a coma for four days. (pauses) It took you so long to wake up. Booth: (about his dream) It felt so real. Brennan: It wasn't real. Booth: Who are you?
