Alexis Denisof enjoyed playing Angel in this episode, although when the BBC asked him what the props team used for the fake blood he had to drink, he was unsure. "I should find out," he says. "I haven't been feeling well ever since."
While Cordelia is looking through the criminal database, series producer Kelly A. Manners can be seen on a photo under the name Irwin Oliver.
This marks the start of Wesley becoming a more fully developed, independent demon fighter in his own right, rather than simply providing the team with information and getting in the way of his allies.
First appearance in the series of Brigid Brannagh playing Wesley's on-off love interest Virginia Bryce.
Wesley becomes the third member of Angel Investigations to drink blood, as Cordelia was the second in Expecting (2000).
