Simon Baker's daughter, Stella Baker, makes an appearance in this episode as an inmate on the jail phone who is angry with her brother. His wife, Rebecca Rigg, and his son, Claude, both made appearances in previous episodes: Rebecca appeared in A Dozen Red Roses (2009), while Claude appeared in Red Sails in the Sunset (2012).
"Greybar hotel" is slang for a jail or prison.
The plan to break Lisbon and Marie out of prison could be viewed as an homage to Prison Break (2005), in which Robin Tunney and Rockmond Dunbar both appeared.
