[edit] Background Information
- Near the start of this episode, Scully sings a song entitled "Joy to the World" that she also sang to Mulder while they were stuck in a forest in the Season 5 episode "Detour".
- This episode marks the final appearance of Scully's baby, William.
- In an uncredited appearance, Mulder can be seen very briefly, reflected in Scully's eye. This episode is consequently the third of only four in Season 9 in which David Duchovny (Fox Mulder) appears, the others being the earlier "Trust No 1" and "Jump the Shark" (appearing in archive footage in both these episodes) as well as the season finale, "The Truth".
- This episode features Jeffrey Spender in the character's ninth and penultimate appearance. Because his identity is supposed to be a surprise, Chris Owens' "Special Guest Star" credit isn't listed until the end credits sequence.
- Footage of the experiments conducted on Jeffrey Spender would later be used in the series finale, "The Truth".
- This episode uses footage of the Cigarette Smoking Man shooting Jeffrey Spender in the Season 6 episode "One Son". However, the Cigarette Smoking Man's brief appearance is uncredited.
[edit] Other Episode Notes
- In the opening of this episode, outside the farmhouse where William is sent, there is a Wyoming state flag blowing in the wind.
