- TriviaAs he's talking with Dr. Wilson around seven minutes into the episode, House mentions a "guitar player from an English band," revealing it as being Pink Floyd. That is a reference to Syd Barrett, a former guitar player who left the band in 1968 due to his deteriorating mental condition after struggling with LSD and mental health problems.
- GoofsIn this episode, the patient is finally diagnosed with having Wilson's Disease by Foreman's confirmation of a copper-colored ring around her cornea. This ring, called a Kayser-Fleischer Ring, actually presents itself as a gray-green color.
- Quotes
Lucy Palermo: [Lucy is reading aloud "Her Praise" by W.B. Yeats] I will talk no more of books or the long war / But walk by the dry thorn until I have found/ Some beggar sheltering from the wind, and there/ Manage the talk until her name come round./ If there be rags enough he will know her name/ And be well pleased remembering it, for in the old days/ Though she had young men's praise and old men's blame/ Among the poor both the old and young gave her praise.
