During this episode's initial airing, the intro quote is cut, likely to make the transition from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) more seamless. When the episode was uploaded to Hulu and Peacock, the quote is reinstated, It went "In the nation's largest city, the vicious and violent members of the underworld are hunted by the detectives of the Organized Crime Control Bureau. These are their stories."
While Allison Siko and Jeffrey Scaperrotta retain their roles as Kathleen and Dickie Stabler, respectively, from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999), the other three children - Maureen, Elizabeth, and Eli - have all been recast with actresses Autumn Mirassou and Kaitlyn Davidson taking over the roles of Maureen and Elizabeth from actresses Erin Broderick and Patricia Cook, respectively. In fact, this marks the first time that the original Stabler children share a scene with Eli and the first time they appear together in the same episode since the SVU episode Pretend (2007) (S08E21), before Eli was born.
Despite being portrayed as father and son, Chazz Palminteri and Dylan McDermott are only nine years apart in age.
