Episode Quotes

Dr. Walter Bishop: Kent Street. I frequented a massage parlor just around the corner. I used to get off right here.
Peter Bishop: Sure hope you're talking about the station, Walter.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The little man asks Thomas Newton "Will there be any renumeration?" instead of "remuneration."
Goof (continuity error): Walter removes a frying pan from on top of a Bunsen burner. In the very next shot, it is back above the burner.
Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Astrid says there were five victims at the first crime scene, but there were six (two criminals and four family members).
Goof (continuity error): Walter places the frying pan on the lab table when discussing the machine but in the next shot it is back over the bunsen burner.

Trivia

The running joke of Walter having difficulty remembering Astrid's name is used again. This time he calls her "Aspirin".
When Walter Bishop is explaining to Peter and Astrid how music affects brainwaves, he uses two different songs: the classical one, as shown, from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro". The "disturbing" rock song is, however, the main theme of the 80s TV series Miami Vice.
