Background information and notes Edit

Bloopers and continuity and errors Edit

• David Henesy appears as both David Collins and Jamison Collins, but is credited for Daniel Collins by mistake.
• In the recap of the previous episode's ending (before the title credit rolls), Julia Hoffman seems to have a gypsy accent (i.e. the same as that of the character Magada Rakosi, a part which she also plays).
• After Quentin is shot and climbs a staircase trying to escape from Beth, the camera zooms in on a bloody handprint he supposedly leaves on the banister -- but the print can be seen before Quentin touches that area.
• When Angelique returns to Collinwood and follows the trail of blood from the drawing room, the bloodstains appear to obviously be solid cutouts of some dry material used as a prop rather than actual liquid.
