Background information and notes

• The episode was later adapted into the Law & Order: UK episode "Safe from Harm".
• Cutter mentions how Olivet was a rape victim, which happened in the episode "Helpless".
• D.A. McCoy gives A.D.A. Cutter confidential information about Dr. Olivet, who is testifying for the defense. Cutter then uses that information to discredit her on the stand. She admits to having an affair years ago with a patient; a police officer who had lost his partner, which is hinted to be Mike Logan who had lost Max Greevey in the episode "Confession". Logan had started seeing Olivet for therapy starting in that episode as well.
