First appearance of the character Joey Peanuts (Chad Lindbergh) since the Season 8 episode "Baltimore".
As of this episode, Emily Wickersham (Bishop) is billed before Maria Bello (Sloane) in the opening credits.
First time Diona Reasonover appears in the main credits as of this episode.
The onscreen credits are featured in the second act, not in the first. This is the 5th episode in which this has happened.
The type of character Pej Vahdat plays in this story arc is in sharp contrast to the type of character he played on "Bones" for 8 years. As the character "Arastoo Vaziri" he did not believe in the concept of "revenge" or violence of any sort and even talked others into abandoning their plans for retribution.
