Byron Brisco (Robert Fino) is actually James Roday's (Shawn) stunt double in this episode as well as much of the Psych series.
When showing the newspaper coverage in the beginning of the episode, the pictures are moving. A nod to the moving images in the Harry Potter series and the reason Gus wanted to go to England.
Gus states that he is "a sympathetic learner". This is a running gag as he has previously claimed to be a "sympathetic crier" and a "sympathetic sweater".
With this episode, Timothy Omundson (Carlton Lassiter) becomes the only regular cast member, besides James Roday (Shawn) and Dulé Hill (Gus), to appear in every episode of the show.
Spot the Pineapple: in the opening credits, the screen reads "Psych created by Steve Franks" and a pineapple is on the screen.
