Background notes and information

 * Series regular Bob Gunton does not appear in this episode. It is the first episode of the year not to feature Gunton.
 * Dr. Sunny Macer, last seen in Day 3 9:00am-10:00am, returns in this episode. The gap of 74 episodes between appearances is second only to Milo Pressman at 104.
 * The music played at the end of this episode is reminiscent of Day 1 10:00pm-11:00pm, when Nina Myers was discovered to be a mole.
 * It takes no time at all, literally, for the HAZMAT team to arrive, assemble, and be talking to Jack right after the episode begins, despite the fact that Jack was by himself right before the previous episode ends.
 * The two candidates President Taylor considers for Chief of Staff, Bob Justman and Rick Berman, are references, respectively, to producers Robert Justman and Rick Berman, both of whom worked on several Star Trek spinoff series with Brannon Braga and Manny Coto, the writers of this episode.
 * The GPS coordinates (32 44.23N 117 10.42W ) given for the bio-weapon in the Starkwood base in Virginia actually point to a house in San Diego, California.
 * The overhead view of the Starkwood compound shown in the White House is based on the Camarillo Airport in California where this episode was filmed.
 * President Taylor states the Starkwood facility is 13 miles outside Washington, DC. Previous dialogue indicates it is in Virginia. Davison Army Airfield is the only airport in Virginia about 13 miles outside the city. This could imply Starkwood took over the facility from the military after it was closed. This location is also inside the Flight Restricted Zone around Washington, DC further implying Starkwood has authority from the government to operate flights unrestricted inside this sensitive airspace.
 * Series regulars Mary Lynn Rajskub, Rhys Coiro and Colm Feore also do not appear in this episode.
 * The date on Greg Seaton's Presidential pardon document was November 2, 2007.
