Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• Conveniently, the cell Willy is in has a lock on the inside. Standard cell doors don't have locks where the prisoners can get at them. [edit]

• Dina Merrill is billed as Special Guest Star. [edit]
• No reference is also made to the departing Rollin Hand and Cinnamon Carter. The couple left the show for various contractual reasons. At the time of this episode the situation had not been entirely resolved. Meredyth is a stand in as the female agent for what would presumably have been Cinnamon's role in this episode. [edit]
• First episode in air-order to use Leonard Nimoy as Paris. As was almost always the case, no formal introduction of the character is given. He simply appears and works from the team as if he'd always been with them. [edit]

• Borodin: Sometimes, sometimes it is difficult to face the fact that six years’ of hard work is for nothing.
  Turek: Yes, it must be like working for a promotion you do not get. [edit]
