When complaining about the bartender, Malory states, "Guy sees an empty glass and all of a sudden he's Judge Crater." This is a reference to New York State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater, who went missing on August 6, 1930. He never was found, and the case was officially closed in the 1970s. It officially remains unsolved. Shortly after the news of the disappearance, the expression "to pull a Crater" (meaning to disappear) came into fashion, although it is no longer in use.
The recurring joke of Archer shouting "Lanaaaaaaa!" and Lana shouting back "What?!" is introduced in this episode.
The serial number Lana gives to Ray when disarming the bomb is "934TXS". A number sequence that frequently recurs throughout the series.
The NATO phonetic alphabet letter for N is November, not Nancy. (However, it was Archer who said "Mancy" when he cut of Ray who likely was about to say "November". Archer, not knowing the phonetic alphabet just picked a word beginning with "N".)
