    • Trivia
      First appearance of Jamie Bamber as NSA Attorney Jake Malloy, Ellie Bishop's husband.
    • Goofs
      Ducky quotes "That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet"; to which Palmer replies "That is Shakespeare, right?". Ducky then says "No, no, no, it's W.C.Fields again. He had a million of them". Palmer is right, it's from Romeo and Juliet. Ducky grins, so it might be that he is winding Palmer up by giving him deliberately false information.
    • Quotes

      Donald Mallard: It ain't a fit night out for man nor beast.

      Jimmy Palmer: And yet, I'm the one who had to get out and push the van, Shakespeare.

      Donald Mallard: That was W. C. Fields, Mr. Palmer in "The Fatal Glass of Beer".
