Corrected entry: At the end of this episode, Quinn finds Earth Prime. He knows this is the right place because of the necklace his mother is wearing that he left for her before he began sliding. When he 1st approaches the house, he opens the gate and it squeaks which is his 1st clue that he was home. However at the end of the episode titled Into The Mystic, they thought they went home only to find the gate not squeaking. After they left it was revealed that the gardener had oiled the gate. If in this episode they are back home, then the gate should no longer squeak.

Continuity mistake: The clock on Danielle's hospital room wall reads 11:40 a.m. when she's brought in. Seconds later when the nurse leads Rembrandt to a bed because he thinks he's going to give blood the clock on that wall reads 2:30 p.m.

Agent Lowell: That's Mallory all right. Busted twice for non-possession. Jumped bail a year ago and ran off to Mexico.
Damon: I heard he died of an under-dose.
Agent Lowell: Same here. I guess we were wrong, huh? It's a safe bet Mallory snuck back into the country to spread more of his anti-drug propaganda. A guy like that shouldn't be on the street.
Trivia: The man who is homeless in "our" world, and is running for the U.S. Senator in the parallel universe, is the episode's director, Andy Tennant, making a memorable cameo appearance.

Suggested correction: The homeless man (Crazy Kenny) was played by Frank C. Turner, not Andy Tennant.
Question: Has Quinn, Wade, Rembrandt or Arturo ever found out what caused the Slider to malfunction?
Answer: It didn't malfunction. If I remember correctly, Quinn forgot to enter the coordinates to go home into the device.
The device (timer) didn't open up a vortex to their home world because they opened the vortex up too early, before the timer hit zero. They were on a frozen planet and didn't think they could survive 5 hours and Quinn didn't realise that's what his double was warning him about. The vortex expanded to engulf Rembrandt because Quinn added too much power into the vortex to allow 3 people to slide.
Correction: Oil wears off. That's why the gate started squeaking to begin with, prompting the gardener to eventually oil it.
