Trivia
Brainy's mentioning that Lex should be "haunted by a Kryptonian heart beating ceaselessly beneath your floorboards" is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's famous short story "The Tell-Tale Heart," in which a murderer goes slowly insane as he hears the beating heart of his victim emanating from under his floorboards (where he had hidden the dismembered body).

Goofs
Lex says his friend the new District Attorney, appointed when his predecessor was fired, is issuing Lena a court order to undo her locking him out. District Attorneys are elected and can't be fired and judges issue court orders.

Quotes
Alex Danvers: Brainy, will you be my wingman?
Brainiac-5: It would be my utmost pleasure.

Best episode of the season?

This episode really touched me, I could feel the pain radiating off of Brainy. A big thanks for Jesse's amazing performance and portrayal of Brainy. The moment he had with Lena about their feelings for Kara was out of this world. Touching into those feelings has really allowed for this show to grow both for the characters and for the audience as well.
