This is the first episode since the pilot whose title is not the name of someone on The Blacklist.
This is the only episode to feature one main character, other than in flashbacks.
Just before Reddington (James Spader) and the mystery woman prepare for their attackers, there is a shot of an American flag blowing in the wind. The flag is upside down. This is a sign of distress.
The piano piece playing in this episode, is the exact chord-playing as in the movie "The Trueman Show"!
