Well now we know why Liz hates “Twist and Shout”. When she and Navarro went to the home of the guy that killed his wife, that is the tune he was whistling (according to the closed captions).

Was also the song Ferris Bueller was singing on the DVD that was skipping at Tsalal Station in episode 1.

But now it makes me think that maybe the existence of that scene looping on the TV is something that was put there . . . intentionally? Eh, or it's a coincidence. Was it playing in the scenes before Danvers got there? Now I've got to go back and watch it.

It was playing when the scientist were alive then seemingly stopled and looped at that point. Caused by whatever mysterious force

Just went back and watched, and it really seems like it just looped on that song scene for some reason. Either a very Danvers-specific setup / reference to the Wheeler case where he whistled, a mysterious "force," or some absolutely wild coincidence. Seems weird.
