At 10:02, when Don E. (Bryce Hodgson) has a sudden realization of Blaine's (David Anders) real estate market manipulation scheme, a screwed in light bulb turns on above his head.
Two Simpsons references are made in this episode. Don E first tells Blaine he should reveal his plan like Mr Burns, the ruthless owner of the power plant in Simpsons, by steepling his fingers which Mr Burns often does. Don E also says "eat my shorts" later, an often used catchphrase of Bart Simpson on the show.
Zombie Killer Cain played by James Jordan appeared in Veronica Mars, also created by Rob Thomas.
Nathan Barrett, who plays Tanner, previously appeared in episode 2.4, Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blues (2015), as a drug dealer.
