This episode marks the last time that Crockett is seen smoking a cigarette, after he was previously portrayed as a heavy-smoking character. His quitting was barely acknowledged in the series, although in Death and the Lady (1987), when Crockett is talking with Milton Glantz in his studio, Glantz asks Crockett if he has a light, to which Crockett responds, "Nope, gave it up!" When he was a smoker, his brand was Lucky Strike, an unfiltered cigarette. In season two, another character passes him a cigarette, after which Crockett tears off the filter.
