## Quotes

**Pete**: And just like everything else, when it comes to nature and safety or even plain old life lessons, it's all in this book. Which brings us to today's lesson: archery!
**Scouts**: Yay!
**Pete**: Now, I'm sure we all just want to just start flinging arrows at the targets, but, first, we need to go over some basic safety rules, okay? Rule number one... and I cannot emphasize this enough... never notch an arrow when someone is downra...
*[A scout shoots the dart on Pete's neck with an arrow.]*
**Pete**: Is it... uh... is it in my neck? Uh... this is actually a great opportunity to discuss what to do in this situation, right? Becky. Becky, you want to run and tell the lady at the house and see if you can use her phone? I'm gonna... I'm actually gonna take a nap, uh, behind the sh-shed over there. Let's reconvene in 15, okay? Mm. You know, 15, 20.

## Trivia

* Richie Moriarty got really emotional the first time he read the episode ending because it spoke to him as parent.
* Pete, in instructing his scouts states, "never notch an arrow when someone is down-" The correct word is "nock." One "nocks" an arrow, not "notch." This might be because the scene plays like the BBC original series and it is the same line, but in Britain the term is accurate.
* During Pete's memorial, when Samantha reads from Pete's journal, Jay says, "Clever girl," with an accent. This is a quote from Jurassic Park, which Jay had referenced in an earlier scene.
* This is the first appearance of Carol when she's older in the series; she appears as a young adult in the episode Dumb Deaths.
* Pop Culture references include: Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, and Thor: Ragnarok.
	+ When Jay references Thor: Ragnarok it causes Thor to panic, since Ragnarok means the end of the world in Norse mythology.
* This is the first episode that opens with a flashback to Pete's life when he was alive in 1985.
* This episode is one of the few times that Sophia Woodstone is mentioned although she is not named.
* This is the only time a death day is mentioned in the CBS series.
* This is one of the few episodes that has a plot nearly identical to an episode of the BBC series.
* Sam has previously explained the internet to the ghosts and now she explains social media to them.
