Her heart just stopped. Dr. Walter Bishop: Do you have any cocaine? Peter Bishop: Cocaine? No, I don't have any cocaine... Dr. Walter Bishop: Oh - That's too bad.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

GEOG: Stoughton, Massachusetts is completely landlocked and as such has no bridges. It is also several miles away from Sudbury, Massachusetts.
PLOT: When Walter and Olivia are going through the files they find a connection to a Dr. Penrose. Olivia motions for Farnsworth to run a check on him. Farnsworth types in a search for "Dr. Claus Penrose". Neither Olivia or Walter had mentioned his first name though.
CHAR: While attempting to lull himself to sleep at the end of the episode, Walter recites a sequence of numbers which is known as the Fibonacci series, where each number in the sequence is equal to the sum of the two preceding numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,13, 21, 34, 55, etc. The problem is, he skips 5.
CHAR: Astrid mispronounces Dighton "Ditton." It is correctly pronounced "Die-ton."

TRIVIA

SPOILER: In the hospital, as Broyles, Dunham & the Bishops leave the OR room with the corpse of Loraine Daisy to go and inspect the her deceased offspring, they stroll past "The Observer".
