While questioning an ad executive, an exasperated Logan tells him to "Fly me!" This was in reference to the 1970s ad campaign by National Airlines, which was written by Dick Wolf.
Claire Danes plays a 15 year old in this episode. At the time of production, she was actually only 13 years old.
The episode appears to be based on two separate cases:
- The 1991 John Valverde case.
- The 1990 Jack Cone modeling scam case.
Claire Danes (Tracy Brandt) and Paul Sorvino (Detective Phil Cerreta) would later appear together in Romeo + Juliet (1996). Danes played Juliet and Sorvino played the role of her father.
Yul Vazquez (Eddie Vasquez) also appeared in Sunday in the Park with Jorge (2001) (episode 11.11), as an attorney from the DA's Office.
