Trivia
Owen Crawford examines the photo of a married couple named Betty Hill and Barney Hill who claim to have been abducted by aliens. In reality, the Hills became famous in the mid 1960s with the publication of John G. Fuller's book "The Interrupted Journey" which told the story of their hypnotic regression by Dr. Benjamin Simon and their recollection of the events following their alleged abduction.

Goofs
When the two Air Force officers are about to go after Dr. Greenspan and Jacob on the road in Montana, the one in the passenger seat pulls back the slide of his 1911-style pistol. The slide stays back, then he releases it using the slide release on the left side of the pistol. If the magazine in the firearm was loaded with cartridges, the slide wouldn't stay open, it would release on its own after being pulled back and load a cartridge into the chamber as it slid forward.

Quotes
Allie Keys: [narrating] I have this idea about why poeple do the terrible things they do. Same reason little kids push each other on the schoolyard. If you're the one doing the pushing, then you're not going to be the one who gets pushed. If you're the monster, then nothing will be waiting in the shadows to jump out at you. It's pretty simple, really. Poeple do the terrible things they do because they're scared.

Two opposite ways for Jacob and Jesse!!!

Firstly I'am very surprised this episode wasn't any review yet, in just three of them I'd realized that Taken was so great, this time Jesse was found by the hunters Major Bowen and Major Erickson, pursued by car Jacob decides using your power mind to stop them, in opposite way Jesse finds his father Captain Keys asking if they could help the US's Army against the menace of the Aliens, they caught in the hands of the evil Colonel Crawford, they are arrest and split after they found an strange point in their head, actually an alien implant, a secret surgery was arranged, however unexpected things is about to come, another fantastic episode!!!
