Quotes[]
- Lanie: They say we all have a twin out there somewhere. I guess this one's mine.
- Castle: Can I say something that will probably annoy you?
- Beckett: Since when do you ask for permission?
- Esposito: What?
- Ryan: Espo, go outside. Don't look, man.
- Esposito: What do you mean? What are you talking about, go outside? Huh? Let me see. It's me.
- Lanie: So who is he going to go after now? You and me? Some version of Ryan and Beckett? What if this is just the beginning?
- Esposito: It’s gonna be okay. I promise. I won’t let anything happen to you.
- Lanie: Yeah. What if something happens to you?
- Ryan (burst in the door): Hey.
- Esposito: Dude... we're having a moment here.
- Ryan: Sorry. I found the strip club where Santos work.
- Esposito: Alright, fine. I want to find this piece of garbage, string him up and see how he likes it. There...I shared a feeling. Happy now?

Trivia[]
- There's a possibility that Jerry Tyson, aka "3XK", faked his death back in "Probable Cause", due to some evidence stating otherwise. This is confirmed when 3XK and Doctor Kelly Nieman return in "Resurrection" and "Reckoning" where they work together and kidnap Beckett. Beckett is able to free herself and kill Nieman while Castle lures 3XK into a trap in which he's finally killed by Esposito.
- Lanie reveals she has a tattoo since two months and a rule of a two-drink limit.
- Lanie and Esposito decided to keep their distances from each other after this horrible story until "Under Fire".
- The doppelgänger story arc is an homage to the spy drama Alias, where the character played by Merrin Dungey is murdered by a person who was a look-a-like of her.
