    • Trivia
      The medical condition that the first suspect (at the beginning of the episode) describes as having is real. It is called hyperhidrosis and causes people to sweat more than usual (excessive perspiration). This occurs in about 3 percent of the population and 6 percent of the Asian population.
    • Goofs
      After Jerry Tyson knocks out Detective Ryan and takes his gun, he can be seen cocking the hammer. The sound of the hammer cocking is also heard. However, Detective Ryan carries a Glock 17 pistol. There is no external hammer on any Glock 17.
