The scene in which Seven of Nine orders Harry Kim to undress was one of two scenes that were used to audition actresses for the role of Seven.
This is the last time Seven appears in her shiny, silver catsuit outfit.
Many elements of this episode are reminiscent of Psycho (1960). In particular, much of the dialogue and camera angles from the scene where Dejaren (Leland Orser) brings B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) a plate of food directly parallels similar dialogue and camera setups of the scene in Psycho (1960), in which Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) eats sandwiches in the presence of Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins).
Tuvok is promoted to lieutenant commander in this episode.
Leland Orser (Dejaren) also played Gai in Sanctuary (1993), Lovok in The Die Is Cast (1995), and Loomis in Carpenter Street (2003).
