This is one of only eight episodes of Knots Landing (1979) in which neither Gary Ewing (Ted Shackelford) nor Valene Ewing (Joan Van Ark) appear, the others being Ties That Bind (1988), Down Came the Rain and Washed the Spider Out: Part 2 (1989), My First Born (1990), The Price (1992), A Death in the Family (1993), Call Waiting (1993) and My Kingdom for a Horse (1993). As such, these are the only episodes of the series not to feature any character who appeared in its parent series Dallas (1978).
This is the only episode of Season Thirteen in which Bruce Greenwood (Pierce Lawton) does not appear.
