In this episode, Luka denies the fact that he is a father. This is particularly revelant, as his denial comes at the beginning of a story-line ark involving Luka finally confronting his past in Croatia with the help of the Bishop. (edit) At one point in the episode, Bishop Stewart notes "Croatia is a very Catholic country." At present, Croatia is approximately 85% Roman Catholic, unlike neighboring Serbia, which is tied to the Eastern church. This difference was, in part, the cause of the 1991 Croatian War of Independence. (edit) Although in the opening credits, Ming-Na does not appear in this episode. (edit)

Elizabeth: Please allow me to say that I feel terrible about what’s happened.
Mr Patterson: Which part? Me being crippled or you getting sued for malpractice? (edit) Mark: Life’s too short, you know.
Luka: I do. (edit) Abby: I don’t want to be your sponsor anymore.
Carter: Whoh, where’s that coming from?
Abby: I care about you and I care about your recovery but I can’t keep saying the same things over and over because it’s hard enough for me to do it for myself. (edit) Mark: Elizabeth, we’re not saints, we just try and get it right as often as we can. (edit) Kerry: Look I know that’s it’s been tense between us and I really don’t mean it to be.
Kim: I’m sure it’ll pass.
Kerry: Kim I want you to know that I respect you as a colleague
Kim: Today not withstanding.
Kerry: I miss you.
Kim: Oh that will pass too. In a few weeks we’ll just be friendly co-workers all over again.
Kerry: Yeah, I’ve been thinking…and I’m not sure that’s what I want. (edit)

In one scene, Cleo announces, "Time of death, 1:47 p.m." This is unsual in that she did not state it using military time. (edit) We learn that Luka's confirmation (saint's) name is Mihael (Michael), after the patron saint of the sick. In the many Christian churches the Sacrament of Confirmation, which traditionally takes place between 12 and 16 years of age, affirms the receipient's membership in the church. At the time of confirmation, a saint's name is chosen by the recipient. (edit)
