- As Himself: Robert Culp has an uncredited cameo, jogging with a suspect.
- Gendered Insult: The title refers to a low-ranking member of a production company (the "D" stands for "development") whose job it is to help get new stories into the pipeline. It is Always Female and not complimentary.
- Ripped from the Headlines: The O.J. Simpson case this time.
- Story Arc : There's no "part 1, part 2, part 3" on the episode titles, but this episode and the following two are in fact a three-part story. Very downplayed, but helpful to know going in, since this episode doesn't actually resolve anything and the next episode begins with a case that appears to have nothing to do with the events of this episode.
