Special Notes / Trivia
| Ron Perlman directed this week's episode | |
| The name of the jewelry store is "Glasser-Becker-Rumsdorf" | |
| Diana flees to "Billy's Grill and Coffee Shop" | |
| The coffee shop is on the corner of Durant and Chambers | |
| In the phone booth, Diana dials Joe's home phone number. She dials 452300 (Strange things can happen in New York City, but 6-digit phone numbers aren't among them) | |
| The source Diana is referred to by the jeweler is Mike Coburn | |
| The full inscription on the ring is "VERITAS DE LIBERATA" - Truth Shall Set You Free | |
| The black opal stone ring is an inside joke. Ron's real-life wife is a lovely black woman, the former Miss Opal Stone |
