Trivia
In the closing scene, there are several references to the film Goldfinger (1964), which Honor Blackman would appear in following her departure from the series. In that scene Steed mentions something about "pussyfooting" as well as Cathy taking a vacation in the Bahamas, where Goldfinger was partially filmed.

Quotes
John Steed: And as you're going to be out there anyway, pussy-footing along those sun-soaked shores...
Catherine Gale: You thought I might do a little investigating.
John Steed: That's right! What do you say?
Catherine Gale: Goodbye Steed!
John Steed: Eh?
Catherine Gale: That's what I say: goodbye.
John Steed: But that isn't asking too much?
Catherine Gale: [Mrs. Gale gets up to leave] Oh yes it is! You see I'm not going to be pussy-footing along those sun-soaked shores - I'm going to be lying on them.
John Steed: Not pussy-footing? I must have been misinformed!
