Notes
- Actor Freddie Prinze. Jr (Danny Beck) married and worked with Sarah Michelle Gellar on Scooby Doo, and David Boreanaz used to work with Sarah on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Both times, they played a couple (Fred and Daphne, Buffy and Angel)
- Booth mentions to Aldo that he's been searching for Pelant for three months. However, this episode does not takes place 3 months after season 8 finale, "The Secret in the Siege", as the character's reactions to the rejected marriage proposal suggest that the events are relatively recent. It's likely the "three months" Booth mentioned is the time since Pelant returned to D.C. in "The Corpse on the Canopy".
- In one scene Hodgins mentions to Angela that their DVR is set to record Sleepy Hollow. Interestingly, Bones would later have a crossover with Sleepy Hollow in Season 11.
