Trivia
Near the end Mildred tells Steele (Pierce Brosnan) that working with him is like being in a James Bond movie. This allusion to Bond is constantly reinforced by the soundtrack, which was deliberately scored to sound like the soundtrack of a Bond film. Brosnan would be offered the role of James Bond three years later, only to have to decline it, due to his contractual obligations to this series, but he would get a second chance to play Bond five years after that.

Goofs
When Steele is parasailing, the tow line is clearly still connected even after Mildred supposedly cut it.

Quotes
Mildred Krebs: You don't know what it's like for woman to desire a man. Oh, I mean to lust down to her loins, and yet, fear what that desire might unleash in her.
Remington Steele: You, uh, speaking from personal experience?
Mildred Krebs: Oh hell no! My ex-husband couldn't unleash the dog.

Steele Away with Me: Part 2

There are strains of a variation of the James Bond theme heard throughout this episode, Mildred even mentions all the action is just like a James Bond movie.

The producers knew they had a future Bond in their hands but imagine watching this knowing Brosnan did play Bond!

It helps that filming took place in Acapulco. Laura and Steele are in Acapulco after a dying man leaves a tuna stuffed with diamonds, wrapped in an Acapulco newspaper. In a bullring, a man following Laura claims to be a cop investigating a diamond smuggling ring.

Captain Rios is on Steele's tail but he is more interested in getting a finder's fees if he can retrieve the lost diamonds. Laura needs to get close to a Chicago crook and Mildred Krebs is determined to get Steele to pay his taxes but finds the adventure more exciting. It is just a shame that David Warner was rather wasted in this episode.
