This episode marks the final appearance of Monique Jeffries (Michelle Hurd ) in the series. This episode also reveals that the Jeffries character had transferred to the NYPD Vice Unit but was loaned back to the SVU for the case in this episode.
Darrell Hammond's character says "I don't care if you're looking for Osama Bin Laden!" This episode aired 6 months prior to 9/11.
This episode and Asunder (2000) were filmed prior to most other second season episodes, as indicated by the women's haircuts, especially Stephanie March's (A.D.A. Alex Cabot), as well as setting dates in September and October and presence of Monique Jeffries. They both have very low production codes as well, placing them in the first half dozen written for season two.
