 * The title of the episode, "Claimed", comes from Tony, who argues with Len over the bed that Rick Grimes is hiding under, saying that it is claimed.
 * This is the phrase commonly used by Joe's group, explained later in "Us".
 * When Michonne is in the bedroom with the dead family, one of the dead bodies is holding a Super Dinosaur comic book, another comic book written by Robert Kirkman.
 * The jacket that Rick took and later puts on towards the end of the episode, strikingly resembles the one worn by his comic series counterpart.
 * There is a 'Boondock Saints' poster somewhere in the episode. Norman Reedus portrays a main character, Murphy MacManus, in both 'The Boondock Saints' and it's sequel, 'The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day'. Reedus had no idea the poster was there.
 * In this episode, Rick's bandage is removed, after receiving it from his fight with Tyreese in "Isolation".
 * When clearing the house, Michonne sees a picture with an eye crossed out, a possible foreshadowing of Carl losing his eye in "No Way Out".
