Trivia
This episode was Tim Minear's directorial debut. He says he felt it was time to explore Darla's history, which "should really be her story with Angel throughout the 150 years that they were together." When Joss Whedon pointed out that they were already doing a Spike origin story on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), Minear suggested they do both.

Goofs
In the flashback scene where Angelus catches up with Darla in China during the Boxer rebellion, Darla draws a knife and holds it to Angelus' throat. In the next angle (from over Darla's shoulder) the knife is replaced by what looks like a threaded metal rod only for it to be a knife again in subsequent angles.

Quotes
[Darla has smashed all the mirrors in her apartment]
Angel: It makes sense. She was a vampire. Now she has a soul.
Cordelia Chase: That makes sense? So why don't you go around smashing mirrors?
Angel: Because I don't have to look at myself in them.
