The costumes in this episode are all based on the Rider-Waite designs of Tarot cards. Xena was The High Priestess, then The Chariot, and also Death for a short time; Gabrielle was The Star, then The Empress, and then The World; Callisto was The Fool and then Justice; Joxer was The Hanged Man and then The Hermit; Ares was The Emperor; Lila was The Hierophant; and Solon was The Magician.
Lucy Lawless, Kevin Smith and Willa O'Neill all did their own singing for this show, according to Lucy Lawless' comments on the DVD.
Started the trend of many non-musical, live-action TV shows doing at least one musical episode.
In a series of mostly standalone episodes, this one takes up where the previous one (Maternal Instincts (1998)) ended.
Joxer comes up with yet another variant of his theme song.
