  • Jason suggests Leo jump off a building and yell "Flame on!"
  • When trying to snap her cabinmates out of Drew's mind control, Piper unwittingly ends up mind-controlling them herself while trying to affirm their independence. It almost sounds like she's trying to tell them that they're all individuals.

  • Whilst working on the Argo II, Leo complains about the samophlange.
  • The name "Perry" getting mentioned in the scene with Phineas.
