* The episode uses the visual effect of switching between [[Alessandra Torresani]] and the robot. This both conveys how [[Zoe-R]] thinks of herself and makes her more sympathetic to the audience.

* A possible gaffe in this episode is the sign in the building adjoining the one that [[Sam Adama]] vandalizes. The sign features Chinese characters and, in English, says "Carley Quality Meat Ltd." [http://www.profilecanada.com/companydetail.cfm?company=2209918_Carley_Quality_Meats_Ltd_Vancouver_BC Carley Quality Meat Ltd.] is a company based out of [[w:Vancouver|Vancouver]], [[w:British Columbia|British Columbia]], [[w:Canada|Canada]] where ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' is filmed. However, although no language in the re-imagined continuity is named "Chinese," there are brief instances of Chinese characters in the {{TRS|The Resistance|prose=Y}} and on [[Caprica_City#Related_Imagery|the side of a skyscraper]] in the {{TRS|Daybreak, Part I|prose=Y}} Other real-world languages occur in speech and/or writing in the re-imagined continuity--for example, Romanian as Old Gemenese, Ancient Greek as Tauron, and, overwhelmingly, English--without bearing their real-world names. See [[Language in the Twelve Colonies]] for more information.

*This episode establishes the [[Graystone Family Theme]] as the series main title, with McCreary noting that "the title begins with a pounding percussion fill that introduces the [[Main Theme (Caprica)|Main Theme]] (technically the "[[Graystone Theme]]"), played by Chris Bleth on flute." He wanted to give the "delicate, plaintive melody a bad ass metal backbone, representative of the [[V-Club]]s and cultural underbelly of [[Caprica City]] that the series depicts."<ref name="bear's blog" /> The theme appears in every episode of the series and would later be featured prominently on the ''[[Soundtrack (Caprica series)|Caprica Series Soundtrack]]''.<ref name="McCreary-Caprica" />
*The "[[Zoe Graystone Chords]]" musical motif recurs in this episode as Lacy embraces Zoe in her robotic form, continuing a progression that first appeared when Lacy discovered the Zoe avatar in the [[virtual world]] during [[Pilot (Caprica)|the pilot]].<ref name="McCreary-Caprica" />

*The presence of Promethia High School, and its distinction from the Athenian Academy, implies the status of the latter as a private school.  While the only students whose homes have been thus far shown are Zoe's and Lacy's, the large gap in apparent affluence suggests that Lacy may be present at the Academy as a scholarship student.
