This episode marks the final regular appearance of Steve Kanaly as Ray Krebbs on the series (and is given an official farewell scene in lieu of his somewhat low-key exit at the end of the previous season where he ceased to be a regular cast member). He would later reprise his role in the series finale Conundrum (1991), and would also direct the episode And Away We Go! (1989) at the end of this current season.
After The Sting (1983), this is the second of two unrelated episodes of Dallas (1978) to be entitled "The Sting".
Last appearance of Andrew Stevens as Casey Denault.
Aired on President George HW Bush's inauguration day
