Trivia
At the end of their last scene together, House speaks to Ali and quotes nearly verbatim the dialogue Humphrey Bogart gives to Ingrid Bergman's character toward the end of the film Casablanca.

Goofs
The side plot involves House being seduced by a 17 year old stalker. Repeatedly through the episode it is mentioned that she is under aged. However, the age of consent in New Jersey is 16. The character herself indicates that the age of consent in Iceland is 14 to try and convince House that it would be OK to have sex with her, it's odd that she would know the age of consent in Iceland but not the state she lives in.
