- When Gideon is comparing the woman's body with an angel, he asks Garcia for the crime scene shots as he holds his left hand upward. When the camera pans in, the crime scene shots are shown downward and they are held by a right hand. However, the nails of that hand are done, leading to the conclusion that it's actually Garcia's hand.

- Reid mentions Richard Trenton Chase, a paranoid schizophrenic who was convicted of murder in 1978. He started out killing and eviscerating animals and eating their entrails, and moved up to humans.
