Trivia
When the shapeshifter enters his next body's apartment, The X-Files (1993) is briefly visible on the television. The clip shown is one from the episode "Dreamland," which like this episode of Fringe (2008) is about characters who switch bodies as a result of cryptotechnology.

Goofs
Agent Jessup uses the incorrect biblical book abbreviation. The New Testament passage "Tests" is from First Letter from John and not the Gospel According to John. She used Jn4:1 when she should have used 1Jn4:1.

Quotes
Peter Bishop: Olivia, I need to ask you something.
Agent Olivia Dunham: Sure.
Peter Bishop: 'Einai Kalytero Anthropo Apo Ton Patera Toy' - you said that to me, just after you woke up. Do you remember?
Agent Olivia Dunham: No. Latin?
Peter Bishop: Mmm-mm. Greek. My mother used to say that to me every night before I went to bed.
Agent Olivia Dunham: [laughs] There really isn't a point where things just can't get weirder, is there? What does it mean?
Peter Bishop: It means, be a better man than your father. Walter was already gone. It was like a code between my mother and me. It meant keep your people close. Take care of the people you care about.
Agent Olivia Dunham: Well, you're good at that.

Fringe try to be the New X files

And its just too big of a challenge, because X files is the best show of all Time. But I really enjoy all the easter eggs in this episode, 3 x files easter eggs first one Mulder appear on TV, then the commition talk about closing the X files and finally there is a Fringe version of the Bounty hunter Solid start to the second Season 8/10.
