This episode is full of references to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:" The White Rabbit of the title, of course, is a character in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The mark is named Charles Dodgson, which was the real name of author Lewis Carroll. The character's assistant is named Mr. Carroll. The character name Alex Liddell is a variation on Alice Liddell, the real-life Alice for whom Carroll wrote his two most famous stories, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" (1871). Additionally, one of the employees let go in the opening sequence (Number 20) is named Edith, the name of one of real-life Alice Liddell's sisters. Hardison says the team is going to put Dodgson "in wonderland." Eliot's line "Blue patch makes him loopy, red patch knocks him out," has the same rhythm and structure of the line "One pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small" from the song "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. The song is a two-and-a-half minute homage to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." In the "dream-world", Sophie introduces herself as being from Hatter Mercantile.
In the fight scene with the security guards, Elliot says: "Ooh! That one connected, there, didn't it? Come here..." That line was ad-libbed after Christian Kane accidentally "connected" (punched) with the actor.
When the list of potential bidders for D. E. is shown on the board, at least two of the companies, Beckworx and Wakefield, are from previous cons. Beckworx was from The 10 Lil Grifters job. Wakefield is from The Inside Job.
Another reference to Doctor Who (2005), Sophie uses the alias "Sally Sparrow" from the episode "Blink."
At 28:40 Hardison says "Wrong something is." This is Yoda-speak from the Star Wars universe.
