** The title of the episode is one to both ''[[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo]]'' and ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''.

The first time, she's happily listening to the music on her headphones, the second time she's tense because she's infiltrating the BigBad's office, so there's SinisterSurveillance involved in the security guard's attentions (it's also used to show Sam and Dean waiting in a van as MissionControl).
