Trivia
The day this aired, ABC announced that, if or when the series was renewed for season nine, Stana Katic and Tamala Jones would not be returning. The decision to not renew their contracts was eventually rendered moot when the series was canceled the following month.

Goofs
Medical examiner Dr Parish states that a victim was stabbed in the back between the T3 and T4 thoracic vertebrae and "died instantly". Severing the spinal cord at that point could paralyze the chest and diaphragm, causing death by suffocation, but not "instantly".

Quotes
Martha Rodgers: Okay, ladies, I have decided that I should change my autograph. So... what do you think?
Alexis Castle: Gram, that looks exactly like your usual autograph.
Martha Rodgers: No. No, no, no, no. My *usual* autograph when I am *merely* an actress is like this. Sort of carefree and- and whimsical...
[she shows them the two autographs; they look exactly the same]
Martha Rodgers: ...Whereas the other conveys insight, wisdom. They're completely different. Can't you see that?
[Alexis and Hayley look at each other and play along]
Hayley Shipton: Insight.
Alexis Castle: Wisdom.
Alexis Castle: [at the same time as Hayley] Absolutely. Good job.
Hayley Shipton: [at the same time as Alexis] Sure. Look at that.
Hayley Shipton: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a business to run. Especially since you-know-who is completely useless.
Richard Castle: [entering] I heard that. And if I'm so useless, why would Beckett ask me to consult on a murder? Oh, Mother, new autograph.
Martha Rodgers: Yeah.
Richard Castle: Nice. Conveys wisdom, insight. I like it.
