The box containing Framboise's personal effects as she leaves ODIN contains the following items: fluffy handcuffs, a yo-yo, a toothbrush, condoms, lipstick, tampons, keys, a mug, and various papers.
The box containing all of Archer's personal effects as he leaves ISIS contains the following items: A plant, a strip of condoms, his trademark ping-pong paddle, a lacrosse stick, a trophy, a stapler, and office pens.
It is revealed that Archer's middle name is Malory, named for his mother.
Pam sees several people lying on the floor of Malory's office and says, "Looks like Jonestown in here." This is a reference to the Jonestown massacre, the mass suicide of members of the The Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ in Guyana. On November 18, 1978, Jim Jones, the cult's leader, convinced his followers that they'd be infiltrated, attacked, and forced to convert to fascism. He then ordered his members to ingest grape Flavor Aid laced with cyanide, sedatives, and Valium, resulting in 918 deaths.
