The actor playing Mosley's son Derrick (Aiden Berryman) replaces Jalyn Hall from the Season 9 finale, even though this episode takes place immediately afterwards.
This is the second episode of NCIS: Los Angeles not to include the theme during the opening titles. Instead, the title, along with the "Created by Shane Brennan" slate, appear as a superimposed title at the beginning of the episode. The first was Season 3's Exit Strategy.
The NCIS franchise was created as a spin-off of the series JAG (1995). Gerald McRaney guest stared in two episodes of JAG as Sergeant Major Charvis Krohn. This is the second time he has guest stared on NCIS Los Angeles.
