SYNOPSIS

• Coming Soon

TRIVIA

• This is writer Tim Minear's favourite episode, and Alexis Denisof also cites this episode as one of the best.

• The exterior of the Hyperion is the same location used as Melissa Burns' apartment in I Fall to Pieces.

CONTINUITY

• Angel asks Cordelia and Wesley to investigate the Hyperion Hotel, which he discovered in the previous episode. The Hotel becomes Angel Investigations' primary base until season five.

• Angel mentions that he was younger than 30 when he was sired. In actually fact, he was 26, which we learned in The Prodigal.

GOOFS

• In the 1952 flashback, you can see the Hollywood Walk of Fame outside Denver's bookstore, with a star or two. However, the first star wasn't put down until February of 1960.

• The newspaper clipping on Judy Kovacs says she worked at the Union National Bank, but later she tells Angel she worked at the City Trust Bank.

• The photo Cordelia has in her hand is a little different then the close-up one she ends up handing Wesley. In the far shot Angel is to the right of two men. When the camera goes in for the close-up the photo shows Angel in-between the same two men.

• In the flashback when we see the embezzled $11,000, several of the bills are the new 1996 $100 bills.
