Trivia
Holmes mentions a "shoe with a phone in it." This is a reference to Get Smart (1965), a television comedy about spies in which a "shoe phone" was often used.

Goofs
When rationalizing his messiness in a conversation with Watson, Sherlock erroneously attributes the discovery of penicillin to Andrew Fleming, rather than its actual discoverer Alexander Fleming.

Quotes
Dr. Joan Watson: [on the state of the kitchen] This is a problem.
Sherlock Holmes: This is a sign of an active mind. Lincoln, Einstein, Freud - all geniuses who drew inspiration from chaos in their environs. Without Andrew Fleming's reluctance to wash petrie dishes, the world wouldn't have penicillin, would it?
Dr. Joan Watson: [holding up a rancid food container] Well, since the world does, do you have to grow it in your fridge?
