The copier that Charlie tries to sell is model 815, the same number as the ill-fated plane.
Charlie's date, Lucy, mentions that her dad is out of town looking to buy a paper company in Slough. This is a reference to the British show The Office (2001), which took place at a paper company in Slough.
In 2009, episode writer and show creator Damon Lindelof quoted this episode as one of his least favorite, saying that it "was flawed on almost every single level that an episode of Lost could be".
