Kenny Johnson's character Curtis Lemansky has a day off with David Snell's character Ronnie Gardocki while Vic Mackey and Shane Vendrell get to know about the Money Train.
It is revealed in this episode that Shane's badge number is 714 -- the same number carried by Joe Friday on "Dragnet" (1949) and seen on the title of the show. Jack Webb chose 714 to honor Babe Ruth's home run record.
This is the first episode of the series where Vic appears wearing a shirt with a collar.
