This episode introduces the character of Hopper (the hitman) played by Terry Serpico. He had previously played a hitman in Michael Clayton (2007), which featured Michael O'Keefe.
Ben Vereen has a bicycle racked to the back of his car, a nod to his television series Tenspeed & Brownshoe, where he's a con man, like on this show.
Both Michael O'Keefe and Jay O. Sanders had roles on Roseanne.
