Near the end of the episode, when BAU agent David Englander (Brian Serpico) visits Finch's 'Headquarters!', the machine next to the hanging globe is a Zoltar fortune telling machine. This is the same make of machine seen in (and an homage to) Big (1988), starring David Moscow, who makes a wish to be grown up and becomes Tom Hanks for most of the rest of the movie. The mannequins in each of the machines, however, are dressed and coloured differently.
At around 0:41 when Brian is "back" in his childhood room talking to Josh, there is a poster of Jennifer Carpenter (Rebecca Harris) to the left of Brian.
When it shows the balloon animals, the pink pony balloon labeled "Peaches N' Cream" has under the name "B. Nov 24, 1946" which is Ted Bundy's birthday. The blue rabbit balloon labeled "Strawberry" has "B. Feb 18, 1949" which is Gary Ridgway The Green River Killer's birthday.
The odd title refers to Brian's way of using alternative words instead of grisly murder details.
