Trivia

The episode was originally scheduled to air as the finale of Season Two, but due to the perceived similarity between its plot and the then-recent Virginia Tech shootings, it was removed from the 2006-2007 lineup and moved to the 2007-2008 lineup instead.
This episode is the first of three episodes to not use bookend quotes in the show's history. The others are:
- Season Four
  - "To Hell and Back, part 2"
- Season Eleven
  - "Derek."
Elizabeth Hendrickson, the actress who portrays Katie, previously appeared in another episode of Criminal Minds, starring as Amy Cole in the Season Two episode "P911."
