- Did Dean and Bobby really see each other in the nest, or were they both hallucinating?
- Is the soul eater Bobby hunted in Tennessee still alive?
- How can Bobby and Rufus use a backhoe to dig up graves in a cemetery without getting caught?
|
- Bobby and Rufus once hunted a baku in Alaska
- Bobby and a hunter named Harvey once hunted a soul eater in Tennessee
- According to Rufus, the oldest rule of hunting is that you can't save everybody; but he tells Bobby to dismiss that rule where the Winchesters are concerned.

- The house's address in this episode was 207 Oak Street, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
- The bottle of Johnny Walker Blue that Bobby finds in his car is the same bottle Jody Mills and Sam find and drink together in season 7 "Time After Time".
- We saw Bobby and Rufus use a backhoe to dig a grave in "Weekend at Bobby's" (season 6)
- Holly Elissa (the actress who played Mary Henderson in this episode) also played the shapeshifter/bar waitress "Lucy" in season 4 "Monster Movie"

- Bobby introduces himself and Rufus as Special Agents Riggs and Murtaugh. Those characters are police detectives from the "Lethal Weapon" movies, played by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.
- Bobby and Rufus once hunted a baku in Alaska. Traditionally, the baku is a spirit creature that eats nightmares; but if it remains hungry, it can also devour ones desires and hopes.
- Dean's quip about Rufus and Bobby being "grumpy old Men of Letters" is a reference to the film "Grumpy Old Men" starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
