Production
- The Feast of Saint Elzear takes place on September 27th.
- The episode includes a flashback scene of Christopher's emotional revelation to Tony that Adriana had been working for the Feds. That scene was originally shot as part of episode 5.12, "Long Term Parking" (directed by Tim Van Patten and photographed by Alik Sakharov), but had been cut to heighten the suspense surrounding Adriana's execution.
- The theme of a wind driving the characters is continued in this episode - the closing shot is of wind rustling autumn leaves as Paulie reconciles with Nucci.
- Actor Tony Sirico, who plays Paulie, cited the final scene as probably his character's favorite thing to do with his mother as a child, going on to explain that he really has no one else who loves him, which explains Nucci's sudden change in mood and silence.
- Shortly after Paulie arrives at Nucci's place, Nucci mentioned that she was watching Lawrence Welk on channel 55. Since the 1980s, The Lawrence Welk Show was seen exclusively on PBS member stations. While there is a channel 55 in the New York City television market, WLNY-TV, that station is a commercial independent station.
