It was said in the show that Glenn Carter was killed by the West Nile Virus. This was also the cause of death for the actor portraying him, Clark Middleton, who died in October 2020.
Glenn was survived by his mother Paula as was Clark Middleton, the actor who played Glenn. Clark was survived by his mother, Sue Perior, and also his brother, Kevin, and his spouse, Ellisa Middleton.
The Colonel is described as having lost his hearing at age four due to meningitis. This is also true of Bob Hiltermann, who plays him.
More than one nod to The Matrix in this episode:
The Pill Aram takes is similar to the one Neo takes is the first.
The way Alexander is phoned by Red and escapes just before the FBI turn up is almost exactly the same as the way Neo is originally contacted and escapes Mr Smith in The Matrix.
The word 'Matrix' is used on several occasions.
