Shipp refers to one of Elliot's fighting moves as "distinctive".

Jonathan Frakes directed this episode, as well as 13 episodes of the original series. He has also directed episodes of The Librarians (another Devlin production) and Falling Skies, both of which starred Noah Wyle.
Breanna's "3000 tons of maple syrup" mistake could be a reference to the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist from 2011.
"Arlo, Louisiana" is a fictional town, but "Arlo" is the brand name of a line of security cameras, some of which back up data to the cloud. That data can be pulled by the police with a warrant.
