This is the only episode of the series in which the narrator acknowledges that the plot resembles that of an actual real-life case (Lisa Steinberg.) (edit) The plot of this episode would be revisited in the 15th season episode Fixed. (edit)

Ben Stone: I didn't hear you knock.
Shambala Green: That's because I didn't. If I'd have knocked, you would have heard me.
Ben Stone: I don't doubt that. (edit) Eugenia Rawlings: (refering to Logan) Are you in charge of this ape?
Max Greevey: My cross to bear. (edit) Adam Schiff: What does your gut tell you?
Ben Stone: Put 'em in a dungeon, put 'em on a wheel, and annihilate 'em. (edit) Mike Logan: Everything’s a mirror to her. She holds a dying kid up to it, and all she can see is herself and how it affects her. Now you give her sympathy, she’s gonna want to fight. You give her a fight, she’s gonna want a kiss. You give her a kiss and I swear to God she’ll bite your tongue out. (edit) Jacob Lowenstein: Please. That was therapy.
Mike Logan: For her or for you?
Jacob Lowenstein: For her! In Reichian therapy, the patient has to--
Max Greevey: Really get to know the therapist, hmmm?

This episode does not have any trivia. Add some now!

Shambala Green: Ethically, I'm Snow White.

This is a reference to the popular fairy tale character Snow White, written by the Brothers Grimm, meant to suggest purity and innocence. (edit) Rudy: Mommie Dearest was dancing around like a whirling dervish.

Mommie Dearest is a movie about Joan Crawford and her abusive relationship with her adopted children. (edit) This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Lisa Steinberg murder case. In 1987, six-year-old Lisa Steinberg was beaten to death by Joel Steinberg, the man who had illegally adopted her. Both Steinberg and his wife were originally charged. (edit)
