Notes:
-Though it was 19th produced, it was the 20th episode shown during "The X-Files" sixth season. Only David Duchovny's voice was used during this episode, because the actor was busy prepping his directorial debut on the show.
-This episode was filmed on location in Las Vegas.
-Signy Coleman reprises her role as Susanne Modeski from the first Lone Gunmen episode "Unusual Suspects."
-Michael McKean briefly reprises his "X-Files" role as Morris Fletcher, whom would later be used on "The Lone Gunmen" series and again on "The X-Files," in the final Lone Gunmen episode. Charles Rocket, another SNL alumni, also appears.
-Jim Fyfe appears in this episode as Jimmy the Geek, who is killed off. He later would appear as Kimmy the Geek in "The Lone Gunmen" series.
-John Billingsley (now best known as the doctor Phlox from "Enterprise") was part of the cast of the short-lived "The Others," a series produced by former "X-Files" writer/producers Glen Morgan and James Wong.
-The name of Susanne's new identity which Byers gives to her in the end of the episode is Holly Fitzgerald. Holly is the name Susanne first gave to Byers when they met, after the sugar on the table (and after writer Vince Gilligan's girlfriend) and Fitzgerald is Byer's middle name echoing the thoughts of marriage he has.
