- Picard's mind is trapped in a memory searching for his mother in the catacombs underneath the château. He also sees his father as a Starfleet psychologist.
- Tallinn reveals to Picard she is actually Romulan.
- Guinan attempts to summon Q, but it does not work. She tells Picard the El-Aurians and the Q Continuum struck a truce after a long cold war. Animosity between Guinan and the Q was first explored in the Next Generation episode "Q Who". (This is also the episode that introduced the Borg.)
- The FBI have security footage of Picard beaming into Los Angeles. They arrest Picard and Guinan.
- Rios reveals himself to Teresa. He tells her "I am from Chile… I just work in outer space." Kirk said the same thing about Iowa to Gillian in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
- Jay Karnes (Special Agent Wells) previously played Lieutenant Ducane in the Voyager episode "Relativity", which also dealt with repairing timelines.
- Ivo Nandi (Officer Leclerc) is credited as a guest star, but has no scenes in the aired episode.
- The uncredited singer in the dive bar is Sunny Ozell, wife of Patrick Stewart.
