Notes:
-This episode is so entitled, because of how the Gunmen take care of a baby. A baby which is evidence of a crime, much like a smoking gun would be.
-Byers likely is referencing Mulder from "The X-Files" with his "friend at the FBI" comment.
-Four Songs were used in this episode, including Aretha Franklin's "You Make Me Feel (Like a Natural Woman)" written by Carole King, Gerry Goffin, and Jerry Wexler, "Oh Happy Day" by Hawkins, Rimbault, and Doddridge, "I Say a Little Prayer" by Bacharach and David, and "Soulville" by Glover, Turner, Levy and Washington.
-Guest star Mitchell Kosterman was Mustachioed Officer, also played a police officer in "The X-Files" episode "Genderbender," Detective Horton in "Sleepless," and the guard Fornier in "The List." Sean Allan (one of the reporters), was the customer who says "we're all gonna be bleeding through our nipples!" in "War of the Coprophages," and also Dr Scanlon in "Memento Mori."
