This marks the only time Jack McCoy is seen shouting at the top of his lungs. He had raised his voice in numerous previous installments, but not to the degree shown here.
Sam Waterston played Jack McCoy again for the first time in eight years in the SVU episode The Undiscovered Country (2018).
Final line spoken in this episode, which makes it the final line spoken in the "Law and Order" series before its reboot 12 years later: "Thank you...thank you...thank you."
