Alan: It's spring...I'm in heat. (edit)

The restaurant scenes were filmed in guest star Jeri Ryan's Los Angeles restaurant Ortolan. (edit) While not forbidden or unethical, it is not a good idea for a lawyer to defend a family member, as a doctor does not treat his/her family. Brad would likely have played second chair or consulted, but would have had another lawyer defend his niece. (edit) With Jeri Ryan as a guest star, this episode features three diferent primary Star Trek characters from three different Trek series all in the same program. (William Shatner: Kirk from Star Trek, Rene Auberjonois: Odo from Deep Space Nine and Jeri Ryan: Seven of Nine from Voyager) (edit)
