As they discuss mortality, Whiterose (BD Wong) quotes Macbeth (Act V, Scene 5) to Dom (Grace Gummer):
- Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

The gowns Whiterose (BD Wong) shows Dom (Grace Gummer) are from the Qing Dynasty, the final ruling dynasty in China, which ran from 1644 to 1912. Whiterose noted that the embroidered yellow dress was owned by royalty; during this time, yellow clothing could only be worn by members of the royal family. The brightest yellow was only worn by the Emperor. A slightly more lime yellow was for the highest standing family members. And a paler, duller yellow was for lesser royal family members.
