- This is the 5th episode of Supernatural that Jensen Ackles has directed. (The other four are "Weekend at Bobby's", "The Girl Next Door", "Heartache", and "Soul Survivor").
- Cas' car is a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V; and Cas seems hurt that Sam called his car "crappy".
- Crowley gives Amara a children's pop up book titled "Uncle Hoppity", but she is already reading "The Inferno", by Dante Alighieri -- the first book of his "The Divine Comedy" epic poem.
- "Sonny's Taxi Cab" is the name on the taxi when Dean arrives to pick up Rowena.
- "Fortune Nookie" seems to have replaced "BustyAsianBeauties.com" as Dean's preferred pornographic website.
