- Quotes
DCI Fred Thursday: You're a third division shake-down artist and fourth-rate ponce. Always were, always will be. If there's any comeback over Joey, I'll have your cobblers for a key-fob. Mind how you go.
- Crazy creditsIn the closing credits after the actors' names have cycled through, certain letters of the crew's names are colored red. In order, these red letters spell out "Artemisia Gentileschi," the name of the notable female painter of "Judith and Holofernes," which is directly referenced in this episode. Artemisia Gentileschi was raped by one of her father's associates, who then refused to marry her. Gentileschi's father brought the associate to court, and although the man was found guilty and banished from Rome, the order was never enforced. Artemisia Gentileschi later painted three variations on the Judith and Holofernes story. It is widely accepted that she was expressing her desire to punish the man who raped her through the subject of these paintings.

Featured review
A seaon premiere that leaves an indelible impression
Starting with Endeavour Morse being a dropout at Oxford, one of the themes of the series focuses on debunking the mystique of the arcane and hypocritical system and culture at this legendary institution. The barbaric debauchery of self-proclaimed educated elite depicted in this episode no doubt defies comprehension, and the payback was equally unimaginably ghastly.
Charlotte Hope certainly stole the show. The protracted duel between Eve and Endeavour had enough poignancy and wattage to outshine the rest of this remarkable episode.
