This episode appears to be based on three separate cases:
- The 2016-2018 Bill Cosby sexual assault cases and his subsequent release in 2021.
- The 1990s-2021 R. Kelly sexual abuse cases and his subsequent 2019 primetime interview.
- The 2018-2021 Chrystul Kizer case.
First new episode to air in 12 years.
The title of this episode takes its name from an original play by Jeffrey Bloom.
This first episode of the reboot of Law & Order aired on what would have been the 100th birthday of Steven Hill (D.A. Adam Schiff, seasons 1-10).
Previous EADA, Mike Cutter (portrayed by British actor Linus Roache ) is replaced by Hugh Dancy, another British actor playing an American.
