** Pretty much everything about Flynn and Eve getting stuck in a stereotypical black-and-white detective movie is hilarious, but special mention goes to the scene where Eve has to dig a bullet out of Flynn's arm...and because of the rules of the spell, it won't actually come out until Flynn claims that it doesn't hurt.



** And at the climax of the episode, when the three show up to rescue Eve and Flynn at the climax of the detective story, [[BrickJoke not only are they all]] ''[[BrickJoke still]]'' [[BrickJoke wearing the costumes]], but Stone launches into a reprise of the song he was singing in the cowboy movie!



** Stone reads that [[SlavicMythology Koschei's Needle]] is hidden within an egg, within a duck, within a hare, within an iron chest. Ezekiel declares they need to find a turducken.

TearJerker. Jenkins spending the entire opening scene [[spoiler:complaining about how much mortality sucks]]? Not so much.

*** All the more hilarious if you read the novel ''The Librarians and the Lost Lamp'', where this conversation is referenced, and Jenkins finally has to admit that he's wrong this time. Of course, the novel reveals that the reason Jenkins is so certain that it's not the genie's lamp is because [[spoiler:Flynn commanded the jinn to send the lamp away, never to be found, back in 2006]].

With nobody on the team being particularly confident that they can land the plane safely, they attempt an evacuation, and Flynn is asked if he can speak Spanish so that he can deliver instructions to the other passengers. He ''can'', technically... except that it's ''Renaissance''-era Spanish, and thus the passengers can't understand him.

Rewritten to clarify that most of this stuff Jones isn't coming up with on his own, most of it comes from STONE initially and Jones just agrees with him.


** Ezekiel and Stone driving across a campus while Ezekiel spouts off how great he is in order to draw the attention of a monster that feeds off pride. Made funnier in that everything Ezekiel says is something he truly believes which includes the ability to beat Stone in a fight and to get with Eve if he wanted to. Compounding the hilarity is that Ezekiel ''doesn't think of it as boasting'' and as a result has trouble of thinking of things to say, requiring Stone to prompt him at intervals with remarks about what a great thief he is and how he could probably beat Stone himself in a fight. Stone's growing exasperation through all of this is priceless, especially when he suggests that Ezekiel would have a chance of getting with Baird if he ever wanted to - something that Stone ''actually did'' in an alternate timeline which he is not aware of.
