Trivia[]

  • Scarlett McAlister, the actress that played Deputy Susan Flack, previously appeared on Criminal Minds, starring as Betty in the episode "Solitary Man," also of Season Five.
  • Though depicted in the episode, there are no real-life sheriffs in Alaska, as their functions are fulfilled by the Alaska state troopers.
  • The main setting of this episode is Franklin, Alaska, which is a ghost town in real life. A similar narrative device was used two episodes earlier, in "A Rite of Passage," where the setting was named after a ghost town on the Mexico-Texas border.
    • While the depiction of Franklin is fictional, a map shown in Franklin's police station seems to show that Franklin is located where Skagway, Alaska is in real life.
