Quotes[]
- Beckett: That’s an odd way to kill.
- Castle: Not for Nazis or evil dictators.
- Castle: Alexis said she'd be in the Village today, but she's over in Williamsburg.
- Beckett: How do you know she's in Williamsburg?
- Castle: GPS tracked her phone.
- Beckett: You tracked her phone?
- Castle: Yes. Super cool app I've just downloaded. I can see where she is at any time.
- Beckett: Does she know that you're doing this?
- Castle: Are you kidding? No, she'd kill me.
- Beckett: And be justified!
- Castle: I'm her father. If something is going on, I need to know. A lot of parents would go to their kids' drawers or computers. [Castle holds up his phone] Far less intrusive.
- Ryan: Cowards die many times before their death. The valiant never taste the death but once.
- Esposito: Bro, you're not Castle.
- Ryan: I know I'm not Castle.
- Esposito: Then stop trying to talk like him.
- Ryan: I'm not allowed to reference the Bard? I'm a Renaissance man.
- Esposito: Memorizing one quote doesn't make you a Renaissance man.
- Ryan: What if I memorize two?
- Esposito: Have you memorized two?
- Ryan: No. But what if I did?
- Esposito: It depends on the quote.
- Beckett: I was thinking of sneaking off to the Angelika. Forbidden Planet's playing.
- Castle: Forbidden Planet, is, uh, is that the one with the robot?
- Beckett: You've never seen Forbidden Planet?
- Castle: More of a Star Wars, Matrix guy myself.
- Beckett: Oh, my gosh. Castle, this is the movie that inspired those two. That's it, I'm taking you. My treat.
- Castle: Oh no, no. I have, I have plans.
- Beckett: No, not anymore.
- Castle: Alright, well, can I have candy and popcorn?
- Beckett: Sure. Oh, Castle you’re gonna love this. This is Leslie Nielsen before he became a comic genius.
- Castle: Really?
- Beckett: Yeah.
- Castle: Can we stop at Remy’s for burgers after?
- Beckett: Now you’re pushing it.

Trivia[]
- The case appears to be inspired by the Chappaquiddick incident, where then-Senator Ted Kennedy crashed a car he was driving and accidentally killed a woman on his campaign team who was inside the car, Mary Jo Kopechne.
- DA Karnacki offers Captain Montgomery a drink... from a bottle of 1875 St. Miriam Rock of Scotland that Castle and Beckett recovered from The Old Haunt in "Last Call".
- Watch for:
- The reaction shot of Captain Montgomery in the booth, listening to Eddie's confession and his repetition of Stephen's assertion that "the cops would think it was a carjacking gone wrong."
- Montgomery's reaction at the end, when Castle mentions that despite all the good he'd done, the DA would be remembered for only the one corrupt thing he did.
- The actor Bruce Davison, who played D.A. Lou Karnacki in this episode, previously appeared with Castle star Stana Katic in The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice.
- Both Castle and Beckett are fans of the film Forbidden Planet, although Castle later claims to have never seen it - possibly to prompt Becket to invite him.
- Castle can tell if Alexis is lying when she twitches her nose.
