This is one of only eight episodes of Knots Landing (1979) in which neither Gary Ewing (Ted Shackelford) nor Valene Ewing (Joan Van Ark) appear, the others being Ties That Bind (1988), My First Born (1990), House of Cards (1991), The Price (1992), A Death in the Family (1993), Call Waiting (1993) and My Kingdom for a Horse (1993). As such, these are the only episodes of the series not to feature any character who appeared in its parent series Dallas (1978).
As she also did not appear in Down Came the Rain and Washed the Spider Out: Part 1 (1989), this marks the only time that Joan Van Ark (Valene Gibson) was absent from two consecutive episodes prior to her departure at the end of Season Thirteen.
