- TriviaIn news from America, Cora's brother, Harold, is involved in some serious incident which Cora says involves a Senator Fall. That would be the Teapot Dome Scandal in which Senator Fall, who was Secretary of the Interior, would go to prison for accepting bribes for leasing Navy oil reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming and two other locations in California to private oil companies at low rates without competitive bidding.
- GoofsMary says that at the end of the night that she would go down before the band left to talk to Jack Ross about Robert paying them. They state it was midnight and as stated in another episode "Downtown is hardly a metropolis" so there was no way that they would leave after paying and Mary could have done it the next morning.

A genuine pleasure in the episode was the nursery scene between three of Downton's widowed spouses. Tom, Isobel and Mary's declaration that they, having known giddying, all-encompassing love, were the lucky ones, was simple, warm and affecting. Mary may not be ready to be happy yet, but with a new enemy with whom to butt heads in Charles Blake, odds are on that she'll be in another clinch before long. Will she end up with the persistent family friend, the dishy viscount (due a return next week), or the "traitor" who's got her so riled? I've a feeling it'll be the pal she can't stand. I think I saw a rom-com once where that happened.
