Bradley Whitford admitted on an interview that he only took this job because he wanted to act with Jeffrey Tambor. Tambor enjoyed working with Whitford so much that he recommended him to Joey Soloway for Transparent (2014), who had just been picked up when shooting this episode. Ironically Tambor was fired from Transparent, following allegations from Trace Lysette & Van Barnes.
Samantha Mathis (Catherine Summers) previously played the role of Hilary Barclay in episode 5.9, Control (2003).
Emma Bell previously guest starred as a different character in season 6 episode 5 "Outcry".
This Spring 2014 episode marks the first time Clare Foley (Chelsea Summers-Maddox) worked opposite Donal Logue (Lt. Declan Murphy). Beginning in the Fall 2014, Foley/Logue appeared in Gotham (2014) as Ivy Pepper/Poison Ivy & Detective Harvey Bullock, respectively.
