Quotes
Dean: What you looking at, porn? Sex tapes? Nip slips?
Sam: The Internet is more than just naked people. You do know that, right?
Eliot: Zombies are real?
Jack: Well, no. Not really. It's kinda disappointing. But there are other monsters.
Eliot: Like what?
Eliot: Do demons really look like this?
Jack: No. They don't have horns. They actually look like smoke, unless they've possessed a human, then they can look like me or you or anybody.
Jack: No. They don't have horns. They actually look like smoke, unless they've possessed a human, then they can look like me or you or anybody.
Dean: We hunt things, fight things and kill things people don't understand. So, kohonta, talk.
Sheriff Romero: I didn't think it was real. The kohonta was a tribal legend, an old story I hadn't heard about since I was a kid. but then I saw it, the night that Barbra was killed.

Dean: Well, it's a good thing. Like I said, we hunt these things.
Dean: Knowing about monsters and fighting them are two different things.
Sheriff Romero: So, you make that choice for everybody? Imagine telling them, imagine the lives you could save.

Minutiae
Patrick Roccas, who played Deputy #2, previously played Angel #2 in 7.21 Reading Is Fundamental.
The Ghostfacers video Eliot is watching appears to be the same one from 4.17 It's a Terrible Life.
While talking with Max, Stacy and Eliot, Jack references Buddy the shapeshifter from 13.04 The Big Empty, and Dagon when he mentions having killed a demon.
The story behind the creation of the kohonta is similar to the creation story for a wendigo told in 1.02 Wendigo though with the difference of the kohonta being cursed.
