The only episode where the full name of the deceased in the opening teaser was never known (the family patriarch simply was referred to by all who knew him as "Daddy").
The death scene to begin the episode is an homage to the death scene of Vito Corleone in The Godfather. A man sitting peacefully, dies while children run through the hung laundry.
Near the end, Claire and Russell are watching "21 Jump Street" (1987-1991). S2.E20, "Best Years Of Your Life".
