Even though the series would continue for another six years, this is the last appearance of Kyndell Rose Crowell as Madison Keaton (Horatio's niece) and Azura Skye as her mother Susie Barnam Keaton.
Jeffrey Donovan played the lead role in the TV show "Burn Notice," another show based in Miami.
Some versions of this season episode present it as 2x 1 hour episodes (45 minutes each, without advertising breaks), instead of a 2 hour tv movie version, known as "Nothing to lose, part 1" and "Nothing to lose, part 2". This 2 parter version then results in the remaining episodes of season 3 (gaining an additional episode number from the alternate edit) being numbered one higher.
