Story notes

• Bill Pullman does not appear as Oswald Danes for the first time since his introduction and accordingly is removed from the opening credits.
• Neither Lauren Ambrose as Jilly Kitzinger nor Arlene Tur as Vera Juarez appear, and as such the episode is the first in the series not to credit any "special guest stars."
