Flashback scenes feature many cast members from previous episodes in cameo roles, including Chazz Palminteri and Patti D'Arbanville. Also features the song "Someone To Watch Over Me," which Deborah Harry sang in the "Dead Dog Records" story arc.
The episode originally opened and closed with Brook Benton's "Its Just A Matter of Time." It fell victim, along with many other songs, to the refusal to pay royalties, and was replaced with filler music on dvd.
