Pete carrying a kryptonite rock around to handle Clark Kent is something that Batman does in the comic books.
This episode once again features red kryptonite and while under the influence of the parasite, Chloe and Pete wear a lot of red.
In the scene where Pete and Chloe intentionally drive their car off a cliff and Clark speeds in to catch it before it hits the ground, to attain the shot of Clark catching Pete's car required the crew to suspend the car from a crane with Sam Jones III and Allison Mack inside the car. The scene was filmed in a rock quarry, as there are not many cliffs in the Vancouver area, with segments of the scene created digitally. The car was then filmed as it was being pulled into the air backwards--the footage was then reversed to give the impression that it was falling. Initially, Mike Walls and his crew tried to pull the car straight up, but it was not working. The movement of the car had to be tweaked to give a sense of reality.
Shaun Sipos, who has a small role, later played Adam Strange, a time-traveling ally of Clark's grandfather, Seg-El, in Krypton (2018).
At the rave, Travis wears a sweater vest, white dress shirt and glasses, this makes him bear a resemblance to a teenage Clark Kent as he was portrayed in comics prior to the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
