- Adam Hart, who portrays Driver, has previously been a stunt performer in various episodes of Grimm since season 4. This episode marks his first credited character role on the show.
- Monroe's line that Diana "knows something wicked is this way coming" is a reference to Macbeth, the play by William Shakespeare. The line in Shakespeare's play specifically occurs in Act 4, scene 1, when one of the witches says, "By the pricking of my thumbs,/Something wicked this way comes."
