* ShoutOut: Of a sort. Vince Gilligan got the idea for the episode after reading an article about 1940s spree killer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Unruh Howard Unruh]], which noted that his name meant "unrest" in German. Gilligan found this tidbit weirdly poetic and contrived an episode around the idea. Although the similarities stop there: while Unruh was also diagnosed with schizophrenia, he shares neither motive nor method with Gerry and simply shot his victims rather than trying to "cure" them of unrest.
