Trivia

Henry Winkler, who plays Barry the lawyer, is shown near the end of the episode looking into a mirror about to comb his hair and does a "Hey" sort of shrug. Henry played "Fonzie" back in the 70s/80s who was a greaser who combed his hair and did the "Eyyyy" catchphrase.

Goofs

Judge Ping does not forbid cameras in his courtroom, unlike in "Marta Complex" where the 4th wall was broken as he stated such directly at the camera, resulting in no interior footage.
