Kelly Lynch actually performed as three different characters in this one episode: she first appears as Lori Swann in the peep show visited by Crockett and Tubbs. She then plays Amy Ryder in the film's "dead-eyes" scene, and lastly appears as Margot Franck at the roof-top film party. This is the only time in the series that one actor performed three different characters in the same episode.
This is one of the few episodes where no one gets shot or even fires a gun.
Glanz's penchant for burning paintings is very similar to that of Eric "Rick" Masters in To Live and Die in L.A. (1985). When Michael Mann saw the film, he sued William Friedkin for plagiarism, stating that it ripped off the entire concept of the show (the movie depicts two Secret Service agents going to extremes in their pursuit of a master counterfeiter); Mann lost the lawsuit. However, Friedkin has since stated that this is untrue, and he and Mann have been friends for years.
Crockett's motivation for pursuing justice in this case (his conscience haunting him because he should have taken down the explicit photograph of the girl posted by his fellow high school football players) is much like his motivation for avoiding Evan Freed in Evan (1985), another instance in which his conscience plagues him for something he feels he should have done, in that case standing up for a gay fellow office whom Evan tormented.
Working Title of this episode: "Death and the Maiden"
