Behind the scenes

 * The episode title is a play on the saying "The Long road home." You're welcome.
 * License to Dill is a parody of the 1989 film License to Kill.
 * When Tess clings two bottles together and taunts the Derbytantes to "Come and play-ay," it is mimicking what Luther said and did (but with three bottles) in the 1979 film The Warriors.
