The title for this episode comes from the plaque above the New York City Medical Examiner's Office, which reads "Taceant colloquia. Effugiat risus. Hic locus est ubi mors gaudet succurrere vitae." and translates to "Let conversation cease. Let laughter flee. This is the place where death delights to help the living."
Many skaters in the background are members of the Gotham Girls Roller Derby league of NYC, who have won five of the first six Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) championships.
