Background Information

Broadcast

• This episode has aired streaming on March 28, 2019.

Trivia

• Roland Blum's character was modeled after Jack Nicholson's character Daryl Van Horne in The Witches of Eastwick (1987). Note the make-up to cover his bruises, the hedonism, his hair and over the top outfits, his lying and "devilish" attitude. During the scene when Maya stands up to him after stealing the win for her client, there is a thunderstorm visible outside with lightning, reflecting the emotion of their fight, as in The Witches of Eastwick.
• This is the first appearance of Katherine Shindle (played as Rachelle Max) in this episode.

Goofs, Bloopers & Continuity Errors

• At 32:50, Diane calls someone on the phone. She starts talking while the phone screen is still on the "contact/recent call" page before finally switching to the call screen with the red end button at the bottom. The video played on the phone screen didn't match up with her lines.
