Background Information and Notes[]
- The flashbacks are from Elias Olsen's first appearance in the episode "The Steps We Cannot Take". Muncy mentions how he's free due to her blown testimony from the episode "And a Trauma in a Pear Tree".
- Churlish mentions that Organized Crime Control Bureau was looking into two murders that could have ties in this case, which happened in the Law & Order: Organized Crime episode "Pareto Principle". This begins a crossover event that continues in the OC episode "Shadowërk" and will continue in the SVU episode "All Pain Is One Malady" and conclude with the OC episode "With Many Names."
- Stabler mentions the last time he and Benson talked in person which happened in the episode "Blood Out".
