Trivia[]
- Captain Holt's tell had to be modified for the episode's various dubs, as contractions are a specific feature of English that do not feature in many languages.
- The European Spanish version changes Holt's tell to using a different past tense, and Jake's revelation comes when Holt says "no debí".
- In the Latin American Spanish version, Holt uses various intensifiers and hyperbole when he speaks for his tell, such as "completely" and "utterly".
- The Italian version has Holt employ pronouns, which are commonly omitted in various Romance Languages like Italian.
- In the German version, Holt occasionally slips a word that means "weird" or "strange".
- In the Korean version, Holt has the exact same lines as in English, despite Korean having no contractions to speak of, meaning the reveal makes little sense.
- In the French version, Holt slightly slurs his speech and uses elisions.
- This episode was initially scheduled to air on October 31 before being pre-empted for Game 6 of the 2017 World Series. However, Amazon Prime accidentally released it on its original intended airdate before it being withdrawn.
Goofs[]
- Jake says that he doesn't know what Captain Holt's tell is, however, in an earlier episode (Season 1, Episode 11 "Christmas") he says that he could tell Holt was lying because the corner of his mouth moves when he lies.
- Jake's earbud falls out however it is back in his ear after a jump cut.
