TRIVIA

The "ice" that Jeanie and Maggie pour over Mr. Brazil is actually chopped up silicone.
Ironically, for an episode about one of the characters being frightened of flying (Susan Lewis), Director Christopher Chulack refused to go up in the helicopter as he's terrified of them. Conversely, Sherry Stringfield thoroughly enjoyed her trip up in the chopper.
The production team were worried that Standards and Practices wouldn't allow Dr Dennis Gant to call Peter Benton a prick. However, this didn't prove to be a problem because Standards and Practices clearly agreed with Gant!
