There are a total of twenty-two credited cast members in this episode.
Co-executive producer W. Mark McNair is credited as Mark McNair in this episode.

This is the first appearance of Claudia, who becomes a main character in the series. She appears next in "...The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding".
This is the third and final appearance of Alderman Fenwick. Both he and his massive mustache are killed by Louis de Pointe du Lac in this episode. His body is publicly suspended on a gate for all to see.

One of the characters featured in this episode is "Jelly Roll" Morton. Jelly Roll Morton was an American ragtime and jazz pianist, bandleader, and composer. He is known for songs such as "Jelly Roll Blues", "New Orleans Blues", "Frog-I-More Rag", "Animule Dance", and "King Porter Stomp". This episode posits the notion that it is actually Lestat who envisions the song that will become "Wolverine Blues", which won't be released until 1923.

Louis de Pointe du Lac: When your mother sees the Devil in your eyes, it's a hard assessment to abandon. Am I from the Devil? Is my very nature that of the Devil? I had hedged against the question, but now it completely overwhelmed me.

....

Lestat de Lioncourt: We'll be together ten thousand nights, a hundred thousand. What we're doing is hard. Anything that wards off the dungs of the everlasting road we walk -- the pleasures of the flesh, the pleasures of the kill, for me. Pleasures of the good book by the fire for you.

....

....

Lestat de Lioncourt: I heard your hearts dancing!
Louis de Pointe du Lac: You watched the whole thing like some creeper!
Lestat de Lioncourt: And then I watched you pull over and drain a dog and run down an alleyway for two more rats! This is not a life!
Louis de Pointe du Lac: That's 'cause you took my life!

....

Daniel Molloy: You were the prince of your district. Lestat chased an American icon out of town because he loved you. 1917 doesn't sound like it was such a bad year.
