Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode in the series where Wade Grey (Richard T. Jones) does not make an appearance.
  • This is tied for the lowest-rated episode of the series with "Double Trouble" according to the Internet Movie Database. [1]
  • Lizze Broadway, who plays Aurora in this episode, played the same character in the season 2 episode "Fallout", where Lopez talked her and her companions down from a rooftop ledge.
  • This is the seventh episode scheduled to air in season 3, but the episode number assigned to it is 12. [2]
  • Either this episode and the preceding one are out of order, as in that episode the breakup between Jackson and Sterling had already occurred, or the events being documented happened previous to that episode (and were sufficiently public before this that Jackson assumed it was well known).
  • The first caption on the "True Crime" documentary interviews reads "December 2019", which explains why Lopez is still in uniform, but not why Nolan's house looks finished.
