Behind the scenes

Harvey is 36, and Sebben is 34. Sebben started the firm when he was 26.
Avenger uses a coffee mug with Sebben's face.
Sebben has a urinal in his office.
This begins the recurring gag of Peter Potamus asking people, "You get that thing I sent you?"
This the first time neither the courthouse nor the Birdcage have been featured.
Dynomutt isn't referred to by name on-screen, although he is still credited as such.
There is a teaser for the next episode during the end credits.

Errors

When Avenger checks himself in the mirror, his eyes are designed differently and completely purple.
Falcone talks to someone called Mark on the phone, but the credits identify him as Bob.

Everlasting influence

Well, as stated above, this is the first part of a two-part story followed in "Deadomutt Part 2."
