CBS originally aired this as a one night two-hour episode and promoted it as In the Heat of the Night: Conspiracy of Rage.
When Deschamps and his crew first arrive at the high school football field and are walking down the bleachers, Arb Gentry (David Healy) almost trips just before reaching the field. Since no one yelled cut Gregg Henry (Deschamps) just keeps going by teasing Arb telling him to watch his step because they're going to need him.
During its original broadcast in 1993, this episode was interrupted by a weather report that scrolled across the bottom of the screen during the scene where Gillespie is questioning Mr. & Mrs. Deschamps in Ron Dubois' living room.
