** CreepyMortician Sid Hammerback is forever finding weird things in or on corpses. In "Nine Thirteen," the team is called to the scene of yet another suspicious death at Building 913; 37 people have died in various ways there since the original owner committed suicide by jumping decades before. The victim is wearing a steampunk-type mask and has a lipstick kiss on one cheek. Then Don realizes something:

-->'''Sid:''' They...didn't call me. But, uh, this was one I was not going to miss.
** Late in season 9, some of the team lampshade the QuipToBlack puns that are so prevalent in the franchise. Sheldon has placed some evidence in the super glue chamber:
