Trivia
The name of Orion’s cabin, Twin Pines Cabin, is a reference to the mall in the film Back to the Future.
Another reference to Back To the Future is the Cadillac Escalade’s license plate that stops on the pier next to the Contessa, 1pt21gwp – “one point 21 giga-watts power.”
When Jeff and Lester arrive at the hospital, the male nurse calls “Dr. Adler, room 315 please” through the speakers. This is a reference to Allison Adler, who worked as a writer for Chuck for 3 seasons.
Quotes
Devon: Listen, I got to run. I still got to find someone to make Ellie’s placenta into vitamin pills.
Chuck: I… have to unhear that. How do I unhear that? I don’t know how to unhear that.
Chuck: Uh, General, General, can we borrow a van?
General Beckman: Agent Bartowski, you just arrested Alexei Volkoff and obtained the Hydra Network we have spent the last 20 years searching for. Lieutenant, get this man a chopper.
Volkoff: Death is the solution to all problems. It’s a quote from my favorite poet and humanitarian…Joseph Stalin.
Morgan: You never told me you were going to be wearing something else underneath that wet suit.
Chuck: Morgan are you telling me you’re not wearing any clothes under there?
Morgan: Underwear, Chuck, I’m wearing underwear.
Morgan: Hey, it’ll be alright buddy. You know what, we’ll go outside, we’ll get some fresh air, we’ll play some bocce.
