Closed captioning reveals "I heard it through the grapevine" played when it originally aired. Streaming versions now play unrelated instrumental music.
Donald Faison appears in this episode as a different character than his season 1 debut.
When Don Salem is in the dining room, there is a fish on the table. This is a reference to The Godfather, in which the characters receive a fish as a message that one of their men "sleeps with the fishes." The same movie is referenced when Don Salem says to put a mouse head in a rival's bed (a character in The Godfather wakes up with his horse's head in his bed).
