Gwyneth Horder-Payton directed the episode from a script written by Chris Mundy, one of the series' co-executive producers.

Mel Harris ("thirtysomething") guest-stars as Congresswoman Steyer, a political heavyweight in Washington, D.C. who asks Agent Hotchner to keep the case quiet for her own political gain. Jessica Tuck ("Judging Amy") guest-stars as the young man's mother.
