Observations

 * The front door of the Bloom House incorporates a window designed after the Committee's symbol.
 * Dr. Bloom taught his two daughters an acronym (E.N.T.E.R.) and a rhyme to help them remember how to get into his secret room downstairs where he experimented with VR:
 * E is to Enter the closet ourselves
 * N is to Never tell anyone else
 * T is to Tap with your knuckles times three
 * E is for Effort when turning the key
 * R is Run back the latch and find me

Spoilers

 * At the end of the episode, we see Mr. X/The Man in amongst the crowd gathered outside the Bloom House.
 * Samantha Bloom is alive.
 * The machinery is located in the Bloom House's basement which takes retinal scans of people who can be used for VR in the future. Nora's apparent illness is not caused by pills and sunglasses, but rather from VR somehow.
