The starburst clock shows up in the motel room that Detective Diana Ballard finds Sam in. You can see it on the wall on the right side right before Sam sits down at the computer. It is the only episode during Season 2 that it appears in. It shows up next in episode 3.02 The Kids Are Alright

When Detective Diana Ballard finds Sam he is staying at The Aardvark Motel. According to Dean, if separated he and Sam would meet at the first hotel listed in the phone book. The word 'aardvark' is the first word (after 'a') in an English language dictionary.

When he was 'confessing' he talked about messages from spirits being jumbled, a la Redrum.
When he and Sam were looking at a printout page of danashulps written over and over, Dean said "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," a reference to the famous phrase Jack Nicholson's character typed for hundreds of pages.

At the end of the episode, as they walk away, Dean says, "Does she look familiar to you?" Sam replies, "No, why?" Dean says, "I don't know. Are you hungry? For some reason I could really go for some pea soup." Dean's comment on "looking familiar" and mention of "pea soup" are references in homage to guest star Linda Blair and The Exorcist, the film that she is best known for, in which her character, a possessed teenager, at one point vomits pea soup.

Dean and Sam fight over who is "Mulder" and who is "Scully" - Mulder and Scully being the leading duo of The X-Files.
