Short summary

Veronica is shocked when a dying Abel Koontz shows up asking for her help in finding his missing daughter before he dies. Meanwhile, Logan is reunited with his father when he his arrested for Felix's murder, and Keith waits for the results of the election.

Joss Whedon, who plays the obnoxious Lariat Rental car manager, Douglas, is better known as a screenwriter (История игрушек (1995); Чужой 4: Воскрешение (1997)) and the creator of cult-hit TV shows such as Баффи - истребительница вампиров (1996), Ангел (1999), and Светлячок (2002) than as an actor. Before appearing on the show, Whedon expressed his admiration of it in pieces written for whedonesque.com and an October 2005 issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine.

Kim Stolz (Stacy) won her role of the female assistant at the Lariat Rental Car, as a weekly challenge winner on Топ-модель по-американски (2003) (Cycle 2).

The car rental agency in this episode is called "Lariat." While there is no real rental car business named Lariat, it is the name used for the fictional chain from which Agents Mulder and Scully rented nearly all of their cars on Секретные материалы (1993).

Вероника Марс (2004) creator Rob Thomas wrote a 1996 young adult novel called Rats Saw God.

The second receptionist at the car dealership is named Carmen Sandiego, most likely a reference to the popular computer game in the '90s named "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego". In the game, it was your task to find the jetsetting villain, like Veronica (Kristen Bell) trying to find Amelia (Erin Chambers).

In this episode we see both Logan (Jason Dohring) & Duncan (Teddy Dunn) wear the same shirt. This shirt is again seen in episode 3.1, Вероника Марс: Welcome Wagon (2006), when Veronica (Kristen Bell) gives it to Piz (Chris Lowell) to wear.

This episode had an estimated audience size of 3.01 million US viewers when it first aired.

At the motel, we don't see Veronica's (Kristen Bell) room number for the first room she buys, but we see that the rooms on the sides are #109 and #111, meaning her room is #110. #110 is the number of her apartment and the number on the locker used for fake IDs in episode 1.12, Вероника Марс: Clash of the Tritons (2005).

This episode marks the introduction of the character Thumper, played by James Molina. He appeared in 8 episodes in total.

Veronica's (Kristen Bell) e-mail address is identified as [email protected].

Despite being credited Percy Daggs III (Wallace), Tessa Thompson (Jackie Cook), and Kyle Gallner (Beaver) do not appear in this episode.

Woody Goodman (Steve Guttenberg) is elected to the Balboa County Board of Supervisors. The town of Neptune, being unincorporated, has no officers of its own; the Supervisor whose district includes Neptune is unofficially known as "mayor" of Neptune.

This episode marks the final appearance of the character Abel Koontz, played by Christian Clemenson. He appeared in 4 episodes in total.
