Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The staff repeatedly refer to "Endogenous testosterone" as the result of injections and wrongly defines the term as meaning "from outside of the body". In fact, "Endogenous" means the opposite, and is defined as being from inside of a cell or biological organism. They should have used the appropriate term "exogenous" for injected hormones, rather than "endogenous".
- Goof (continuity error): At the very beginning of the episode, before Peter Walker picks up Paul Millander, the windshield wipers of the car move at changing speeds between outside and inside shots.
- Goof (revealing mistake): SPOILER: As Grissom walks through the corridor in Mrs. Millander's house towards the bathroom, the camera cuts to a view of Grissom's face; with the dining table and Mrs. Millander's corpse behind him. You can see Mrs. Millander's leg move under the table.
- Goof (plot holes): SPOILER: In Paul Millander's suicide note at the end of the episode, he states that he is 46 years old. The show also mentions in previous episodes that Millander was 10 when he saw his father killed on August 17, 1959. This would mean that this episode takes place in the mid 1990s. But since the show is set around the same date that it airs, this is wrong.
- Goof (factual errors): At the end of the episode, Millander's birthday is given as August 17, 1956, as per his birth certificate. Millander was 10 when he father was killed, dated August 17, 1959. According to his birth cert he would've been three at that time.
