Info Alert[]
- Rock Hudson does not appear in this episode.
- According to some early plans, Blake was to give La Mirage to Dominique, with Claudia being demoted to assistant. Also, the writers wanted Dominique to start an inter-racial relationship in the following episode. Quite incomprehensibly this plans were eventually cancelled (even though Dominique did have an inter-racial relationship in season 6 with Garrett Bodyston), letting Dominique with no storyline of her own for the last episodes of season 5.

- Krystle Carrington [to Blake]: Maybe the reason you find it so hard to believe my innocence is because you're guilty.
