Luke Kleintank was hired originally for the role of Brian Keller, but the role was re-cast because Kleintank looked too much like Matt Czuchry who plays Cary.
Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) says to Alicia (Julianna Margulies) that the first plea bargain demands a gin martini, a reference to episode 1.1, Pilot (2009), in which she made her believe that the first jury trial demands a shot of tequila.
On its first airing this episode attracted 13.69 million viewers.
Chris J. Cullen has an uncredited role as maintenance man in this episode. He later appears in episode 5.8, The Next Month (2013), as a factory worker.
