Roz Kelly was drafted in as Officer Linda Baylor after Paul Michael Glaser planned to leave the show between the second and third season. Scripts (including an alternate version of this story) were devised with Baylor in place of Starsky if need be, but in the end, matters with Glaser were resolved and he returned to the series. Writers had planned to use Baylor in later stories, but Roz Kelly was unavailable for them, and as a result, this is the only time in the entire series that Linda Baylor is seen. (Quite what would have happened to the show's title, Starsky & Hutch, if it would have been left as it was or become Baylor & Hutch, we'll never know.) (edit)

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

Huggy's racket: Not a racket as such, but Huggy poses as a street workman, complete with noisy jackhammer, as part of Starsky's, Hutch's, and Baylor's plan to capture the drug runner. (edit)

The plot of this episode pretty much reworks (or at least, has a number of resemblances to) the plot of the 1971 Clint Eastwood movie Play Misty For Me. [Slight SPOILER] The sequence at the climax of the story--as Diana, wielding a knife, tries to stab Hutch through the shower curtain--resembles the classic 1960 Hitchcock thriller Psycho. (edit)
