* As Scully investigates the air tube in the hotel room in the beginning, Detective Kelly Ryan states that Scully would not possibly consider that to be a way in the room, saying "you don't think anyone could have squeezed in there?" Mulder replies "You never know". The line refers to the episodes "Squeeze" and "
Tooms " from season one, withEugene Victor Tooms being able to squeeze himself through small openings.
* No explanation is given why Banton's shadow only sucks in humans and not surrounding matter of any kind.External links
