Trivia:

The comic book Kelly is prominently pictured reading just before Sean Christie's telephone call is "Konga" No. 14 (June 1963). The Charlton Comics series was based on the British giant-ape film Konga (1961). In an interesting parallel to the episode's plot, the cover copy of the issue Kelly is reading states, "... Only Konga stood in the way of their 'MASTER PLAN.'"

Quotes:

Sean: [after Kelly expresses interest in becoming part of Munoz's political organization] You don't have any social conscience, Kelly. You're a gypsy, a tennis bum, with all the values and morals of a Hollywood producer.
