The shot of the NSB security people's car coming to pick up Jaime at her house is reused footage of the mercs' green Plymouth 2-door sedan approaching Jaime's coach house, filmed through her upstairs window, in Jaime's Mother (1976).
Skip Homeier plays the "thorn in Jaime's side" in this episode, just as he does in On the Run (1978).
Helicopter pilot Ted Ryan's last name is a nod to the Ryan Aircraft Company, which built several historically and technically significant aircraft, including Charles Lindburgh's famous trans-Atlantic flight plane, the Spirit Of St. Louis.
