    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The subway set used was the same one used in Universal Studios, Hollywood. It was used for different events, but was originally created for the Earthquake tour. The tram would stop in front of the set, the subway would start to come out of the tunnel, and then after the earthquake, the water would rush down the stairs and hit the subway and push it into a pillar and it would break apart. The whole area can be reset within minutes and the water is drained and reused as well. It was set up with pneumatic pumps.
    • Goofs
      When Hodgins is driving Sweets home, Sweets mentions that he didn't need the lift as he has a car. This implies that he drove to work. The episode begins with Sweets taking the subway to work.
    • Quotes

    Please!!!
    I found Daisy sooo irritating, her voice was like, nails on a chalk board. Sweets could have done way better. All that whining and thinking she was so cute and smart. She should have been the one killed off.
