Ravi (Rahul Kohli), unable to empathize with Liv's (Rose McIver) relationship girl talk, says he can not give her 'the girlfriend experience', and Liv says she doesn't think that means what he thinks it means. In the world of sex workers a 'girlfriend experience' involves the prostitute pretending to be the john's longtime girlfriend or domestic partner.
While Ravi (Rahul Kohli) is drawing a blood sample, Lowell (Bradley James) (under the influence of a scientist's brain meal) says "I assume you're employing Koch's postulates in trying to determine whether we're dealing with a virus or a bacterial pathogen". Koch's third postulate requires that a pure culture of the pathogen must cause the disease when introduced into a healthy subject, that means infecting someone and making them a zombie.

Barclay Hope and Teryl Rothery (Mr & Mrs Sparrow) have previously played a married couple in the TV show Hellcats (2010)
. Hellcats (2010) starred Aly Michalka (Peyton Charles) and also featured Ben Cotton.
The episode includes several references to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997). The references includes a pastiche on Oz's band Dingoes Ate My Baby. During an interrogation, a suspect refers to the death of his ex-girlfriend as "Dingoes ate my girlfriend" and some minutes later the camera zooms into a newspaper article and especially the word "spike", Spike being a main character in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". In turn, the dingo reference from both refer to a real life story from late 80's Australia where dingoes (wild dogs) ate a baby while a family was camping. The mother rightly blamed the dingoes, but was charged with murder. It took years before the baby's remains were uncovered and the mother's name was cleared. "Dingoes Ate My Baby" was the Jon-Benét Ramsey story of Australia of its era and has seeped into pop culture references worldwide.
