One proposed storyline had Veron deliberately killing Gan as part of her betrayal and then joining the Liberator, with the murder not being discovered until later in the season.
This is the first episode where Jenna and Servalan meet. It also marks the last time Blake and Servalan meet in person.
Orac does not appear in this episode.
This is Blake's first visit to Earth since his deportation in The Way Back (1978). The Liberator will return to the planet (without Blake) in Rumours of Death (1980).
