Trivia[]
- "This isn't me!" is a recurring protest made by characters during the course of the episode: Alexis says it as she tries to understand how her fight with Lauren could have spiraled out of control; Sal Malavolta says it when he is confronted with evidence that he's been using his pizzeria as a front for a heroin trafficking ring; Monica Wyatt says it when she explains to Castle and Beckett how she was trapped into working for Cavallo. In Wyatt's case, this is absolutely true.
- None of the four Nicks are actually named Nick.
- Harley Romero faked his own death.
- Gordon Burns used "Melville" as an alias when booking his hotel.
- Dealers making a pick-up of heroin from the pizza parlor use aliases drawn from film noir movies.
- Monica Wyatt hid her profits from her trafficking ring as millions in real estate holdings, processed using her real estate job, but owned under aliases corresponding to film noir movies.
