Episode Quotes |

Murphy: Where are we on finding that mortician?
Kirmani: Nothing yet.
Murphy: Dresden check in yet?
Kirmani: No, it's been three hours. What makes you think he'll find her before we do?
Murphy: Twenty bucks.
Kirmani: You're on.
(Woman's voice from off screen): Let go of me!
Harry: (enters the precinct, leading a protesting woman) Hey Murphy.
Woman: Let go of me.
Harry: Meet Carol...
Carol: I want to file a complaint!
(Kirmani hands Murphy a twenty dollar bill.)
Harry: Our delinquent mortician.
| Harry: (narrating) When I cast a tracking spell I never know where it's going to take me, so I always prepare myself for the worst. Death. Depravity. Horror. The Suburbs.

Episode Goofs |
| |
The actress who play Sharon is credited as Kerry Lafaitt. This is a misspelling; her name is really Kerry LaiFatt.
| There is some bad cinematography going on near the end of the episode just before the credits. The camera seems to bounce around. Not very professional by the cameraman.

Bob: Do that voodoo that you do not very well.
The line is actually "the voodoo that you do so well" and it's a quote from the lyrics of the song written by Cole Porter, You Do Something to Me (1929) who is more well known for also writing Let's Do it, Let's Fall In Love (1928).
| Detective Sid Kirmani: He's probably on a weekend pass to Middle Earth.
Middle Earth is the setting for the epic fantasy novel and movie series The Lord of the Rings (2001- 2003).
| The spell that Harry uses to unlock the door should look very familiar to anyone who plays the game Dungeons & Dragons. Players of wizards have been using the spell Knock to unlock doors for over 25 years.
