Trivia / Angel S 04 E 22 Home

• Completely Different Title:
  • German: Ein verlockendes Angebot (A tempting Offer)
  • French: Une vraie famille (A real family)
• What Could Have Been: Originally, Tim Minear wanted to call Rutherford Sirk's character "Hitchcock" as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock and a reference to the Hitchcockian qualities of Wolfram & Hart, but it was deemed too obvious, so they gave him the name "Sirk" instead, after Douglas Sirk, a director who was a contemporary of Hitchcock. On the commentary track, the director says that Angel is akin to a Sirk movie in that it is about men and women and their relationships, it's a melodrama, and it's a potboiler.
• You Look Familiar: Jonathan M. Woodward shows up as Knox, the last of Whedon's Hat Trick actors. He played the vampire Holden in Buffy's Conversations With Dead People and as Tracey, an old comrade in arms of Mal and Zoë, in Firefly's The Message. Unlike the rest of the guides, he'll continue to play a role in the fifth season.
