As Rita is pinning up a banner for Astor's birthday, one can see that the word "birthday" is misspelled as "birtday".
Although they are only one day apart from each other, Sergeant Doakes' stitches were on his head on the previous episode whilst are totally gone without even a scar left on this one.
On the previous episode, we can clearly see on the screen of Dexter's radar the deepness of the place he dumped Valerie Castillo's body was of 300 feet. Nevertheless, at the beginning of this episode when listing all the trouble the Ice Truck Killer had to bring the body back Dexter says he had to dive 100 feet to do it.
Continuity error: Dex kicks a hub cap in the salvage yard. Later in the episode, the hub cap is back on its original place.
While the young witness is eating the cake/treat it changes size from having being bitten once to nearly being gone in the last scene.
Doakes' sister: (To Deb) First words out of my baby brother's mouth were "got milk, motherfucker?".
Dexter: (voice over) I was wrong about birthdays. Maybe the reason to celebrate them is what they offer: the hope of living to see another one.
Deb: Let me ask you a question. Why do you have it in for me?
LaGuerta: You're loud, you're impulsive, and you constantly question authority.
Deb: Fair enough.
LaGuerta: I hear you have an interesting theory on who...
(door shuts as Deb leaves)
Deb: I traded my glasses in for contacts in high school.
LaGuerta: Boys?
Deb: Yeah. What I really needed was tits. I had Winnie the Poohs in my bras until I was sixteen, and as you can see, not a whole lot's changed since then.
Dexter: (reading Deb's profile of Valerie Castillo's killer) The similar manner in which the victim's body was displayed suggests this killer feels a connection to the Ice Truck Killer, excited by what he's doing. The cut on the victim's cheek, while not fatal, appears to be a signature of sorts. Because of the lack of evidence collected from the crime scene, the suspect may be familiar with law enforcement or forensics procedure. Huh.
Dexter: (voice over) If my back wasn't against the wall, I'd almost feel guilty for hacking into Masuka's email. Once I got past all the porn, it was easy.
Deb: I don't know, he's just got this spirit about him. Guy's missing body parts because of this Ice Truck Killer asshole, and he's still hitting on me.
Doakes' Mother: That's because men only think with one body part, and that one was not cut off.
Deb: (relating a story to Doakes' family) So this john comes out of nowhere. He's got me by the throat. I can't reach around to get my gun, and I see he has a nipple ring. I rip that fucker out like it's a grenade pin!
Doakes: Ain't never seen a latrine before, Morgan?
Deb: Yeah, just uh, not indoors.
Doakes: Yeah, well the army taught me a lot of things...
LaGuerta: I feel a Desert Storm story coming on.
Doakes: ...but digging holes for people to take a dump, that was most important.
Deb: I'm not really getting that.
Doakes: Doesn't matter how many bars you got on your collar, Morgan.
LaGuerta: Everybody's shit stinks.
Doakes: There you go.
Masuka: Yo, what's up with you today? You're throwing off my chi.
Dexter: You're not Chinese.
Masuka: I'm not?
(in trailer with body)
Dexter: You find anything else?
Doakes: (looking at the body) That ain't enough?
Dexter: (voice over) I don't get birthdays. The party, the song. Celebrating another year just being alive feels... forced.
(Dexter and Masuka examine Valerie Castillo's body)
Dexter: You got anything
Masuka: No bruising. Nothing under her nails. She didn't put up a fight. If she was killed here, which I doubt, whoever did it was a real pro.
Dexter: (voice over) Under normal circumstances I'd take that as a compliment.
Dexter: (voice over) I shouldn't even be here. Rita will be devastated if I'm arrested. Her husband was a crackhead and her boyfriend's a serial killer. It's hard not to take that personally.
Dexter: Valerie Castillo.
Angel: Yeah, it sounds like she got exactly what was coming to her. Personally, I'd shake this guy's hand.
Dexter: (voice over) Eh, you say that now...
(after Masuka orders Tox screen of Valerie Castillo)
Dexter: (voice over) That's it. No more donuts for Masuka.
Dexter: Who's the boy?
Deb: All we've got so far is that he's Cuban and seems to like LaGuerta. Spend enough time in a hot trunk and I guess she'd look good to anybody.
Dexter: (voice over) Life is so fleeting. So fragile. Every breath with its potential to be our last.
Dexter: (voice over) Nothing lasts forever, just ask a Ford Pinto.
Dexter: (voice over) Eventually most serial killers get caught. There's really not much of a retirement plan.
The song at Astor's party is performed by Dan Licht. It's called "Party" or "Happy Birthday, Astor". It can be heard at Dan Licht's official website.
The director of this episode, Tony Goldwyn, has directed a few episodes of The L Word, another Showtime series.
