** When they play back their snoring recording, Linda thinks she might have confessed something fun in her sleep, "like I'm really [[Series/TheAmericans a Russian agent]] like [[Creator/KeriRussell Feliclty]]!"
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Since they're not using a video to record themselves, Bob and Linda have no way of figuring out who snores the most from the audio tape. As creepy as the idea was, at least Teddy would have visibly verified the source.
