    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the opening titles, it is said that the episode was written by 'The Lonely Donkey Kong' and 'Specialist Contagious'. These are, in fact, Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, after they entered their name into the Wu Tang Name Generator. This connects to the tattoo in the episode.
    • Goofs
      At 30:08, the same type of error seen in Episode 7 (Season 1) occurs: Nora's rear-view mirror is pointed toward the backseat rather than the back window. This is done so the camera shows her reflection, but that means she is seeing the camera in the mirror, rather than positioning it like a real-life person would, to see the traffic behind her.

      Again, the mirror moves to a more-logical position between shots.
    • Quotes
