Grissom quotes a line from the song "Baba O'Reilly" by The Who ("Teenage wasteland"), which would eventually become the theme song to the spin-off CSI: NY (2004).
When Grissom confronts Ethan he actually says 'you dumb prick', but the voiceover says ,' you dumb punk'
First episode to include David Berman as David Phillips, though uncredited.
