    • Trivia
      Like most of the opening teasers, this episode showed the victim in her period setting, surrounded by people that may or may not have been involved in her death. Unlike the other teasers, it's revealed that this victim dies almost a year after she is first seen, instead of within a few hours afterward as is usually typical with the series.
    • Goofs
      Despite taking place in the winter time in Philadelphia, which sees an average of 41 inches of snowfall annually, there are scenes where foliage still has green leaves even though the episode takes place in December.
    • Soundtracks
      Charleston
      Music by James P. Johnson and 'lyrics by Cecil Mack
      Performed by Paul Whiteman and Orchestra
