Mike Logan makes a number of trivial references in this episode to things that occurred while the character was in the original Law & Order including Lennie's prowess as a pool player and the attack on a city councilman that relegated him to Staten Island for ten years. edit »

This episode is one of two that Wolf Films is submitting for Consideration for a 2006 Emmy nomination edit »
Chris Noth and Annabella Sciorra officially join the cast in this episode, marking the first changes to the starring cast since the show premiered. No other Law & Order has completed four seasons without losing/gaining starring cast. The starring credits change depending on whether or not the episode features D'Onofrio/Erbe or Noth/Sciorra – since this episode centers around Noth/Sciorra, the opening credits include their names, but not D'Onofrio/Erbe. edit »
