- TriviaThe guitarist backing up Angel and Connor's performance of "Jasmine" (to the tune of Barry Manilow's "Mandy") was Ozzy Osbourne lead guitarist and Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde. According to the DVD commentary by episode director Jeffrey Bell, Wylde and his entourage were so enthusiastically and persistently foul-mouthed that Bell felt compelled to remove all the children from the set while they were shooting the scene.
- GoofsWhen Angel is thrown into a bookshelf by Connor, the harness that holds Angel up is shown. His coat moves and reveals it.
- Quotes
Winifred "Fred" Burkle: [Fred approaches the store clerk] Um, hi. You probably don't remember me...
Ted: Three days ago. Mass hypnosis. You wondered if it was possible.
Winifred "Fred" Burkle: I read those books. Some wacko theories, by the way. All of the mass hypnosis theories seem highly flawed to me. I'm looking for a type of mind control that could affect everyone across the board.
Ted: I might have a book on that.
Winifred "Fred" Burkle: [reading book titles] Astral Projections. Satan's Dictionary? You must get some pretty colorful customers in here.
Ted: Used to. You're the only customer I had since last time you were here.
Ted: [Ted holds up a book picturing a crime scene] Not a huge demand for photo books of serial killer autopsies when you're living in a utopian wonderland. You know what I mean?
Winifred "Fred" Burkle: I hadn't really thought... Must be hard.
Ted: Hard? Are you kidding? It's great.
Winifred "Fred" Burkle: Great? Really?
Ted: [shrugs, without smiling] Yeah. Look at me. I've never been happier.
Winifred "Fred" Burkle: Uh, sure. I-I see it now. You're practically glowy.
Ted: I was flicking through the radio the other night - there's nothing really good on since Art Bell retired. But, ended up listening to this woman talk.
Winifred "Fred" Burkle: Jasmine.
Ted: Yeah. You too, huh? What a breath of fresh air she is. I listened for almost an hour. I'm a new man. I-I used to be obsessed with mind control. I read everything I could get my hands on.
Winifred "Fred" Burkle: And you don't believe in it anymore.
Ted: I believe.
[He shrugs again]
Ted: I just don't worry about it anymore.
