This starts a run of three episodes all named after the three new characters they are introducing. Tracy Kendall (played by Deborah Adair) makes her debut in this episode, in the next one we meet Dex Dexter (Michael Nader) and in the one after Peter de Vilbis (Helmut Berger) enters the series. Of the three new characters, only Dex would last past the fourth season.
Cristina Ferrare was considered for the part of Tracy Kendall. At the time, Ferrare was married to John DeLorean.
