- TriviaAll of the title cards ("The Icewoman Cometh", "Strange Interlude", and "Long Night's Journey Into Day") are references to Eugene O'Neill plays. Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) also likens Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and himself to characters in an O'Neill play.
- GoofsSoon after Frasier leaves Lilith in the control room to go to a meeting, Roz comes in and starts talking to Lilith. While she is talking, she holds onto the control room door and actually sticks her fingers through the door window. The glass has obviously been removed to eliminate glare from the stage lights.
- Crazy creditsWhen the title "Frasier" (in yellow letters) and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, a red light blinks at the highest point of the Space Needle.

Featured review
Absolutely one of the best Frasier episodes ever
Frasier was always several notches above most sitcoms - but all hail queen Bebe Neuwirth, for whenever she brings the character of Lilith to Seattle for a guest appearance on this show, the whole thing is next level.
If ever there was perfect casting Neuwirth as Lilith was it. First as Frasier's wife on Cheers and then as his ex-wife all through this follow-up series.
If there's a complaint it's that she appeared only 12 times during Frasier's 11-year run -- and this particular episode is among the best of them. (She was on Broadway starring in Chicago and other shows during this era).
Writing and staging for this episode is flawless -- the pace is full fire, as if you're watching a great stage comedy by the finest playwright.
Even the costuming is top-level, from Neuwirth's burgundy dress to the plush hotel bathrobes.
The final scene with Niles, Frasier and Lilith is as good as TV comedy gets. 10 stars all the way around.
