Saundra Santiago, Michael Talbott, Olivia Brown and Edward James Olmos do not appear at all in this episode. Furthermore, Crockett only appears very briefly in the opening scene, meaning that Tubbs is the only regular to make a major appearance.
Philip Michael Thomas injured himself jumping off a veranda and can be seen limping in several scenes. To explain this, it is briefly mentioned in the opening that Tubbs twisted his ankle after slipping in the shower.
This episode marks the final appearance of the Calderones. Tubbs' son, who he fathered with Angelina, was presumed killed in the Calderones' last appearance but actually survived; his fate is never revealed, except that Tubbs believes him to be dead. Presumably this is a result of the show's producers not wanting to burden Tubbs with a child, for fear of limiting his input in storylines.
