Trivia

The Sun and The Times - After Moses Taylor (Rob Corddry) placed tranquillised Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) on a bench, a tabloid newspaper, British Sun Times, headlines "Moses Taylor Hunts People." The newspaper is a title reference to both News Corporation British newspapers, who is also the series' broadcaster owner. However, The Times is a broadsheet newspaper.

Goofs

Tobias acquires a tranquilizer gun and cites the "gun show loophole" as to how he circumvented the waiting period. In reality the so-called "gun show loophole" only applies to private transfers of firearms. Purchasing one from a Federal Firearms License holder still requires a background check and a waiting period, regardless of the location of the sale.
