This is the last episode to feature the intro with the narration, the entering of Del Florio's tailor shop, and Solo, Kuryakin and Mr. Waverly introducing themselves. A new, more exciting opening sequence would replace it, beginning with the following episode.

In the scenes at Marion's party, four members of the production team would make cameo appearances as various party guests: Norman Felton (Executive Producer), Sam Rolfe (Producer/Developer), Joseph Calvelli (Associate Producer) and Richard Donner (Director of this episode, billed for the acting role as Dick Donner).

Sequel to the earlier episode, "The Quadripartite Affair".
