Although the production crew tried to hide it by the placement of police vans, one can see that the house behind the hostage standoff is the home used for Col. Raymond in the previous "The Silver Briefcase". The home the bank robbers have taken the elderly couple hostage is also the home of the Hecks in the sit-com The Middle (2009).
Filmed in the same diner used on Shameless.
A.J. Buckley (who guest-starred in this episode as Ace) and Toni Trucks (who guest-starred in the next episode as a park ranger) went on to star together in Seal Team as co-workers and lovers.
