During the first episode's initial airing, the intro quote was cut, likely to make the transition from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) more seamless. As uploaded to Hulu and Peacock, the quote is reinstated (L&O: Organized Crime text: "In the nation's largest city, the vicious and violent members of the underworld are hunted by the detectives of the Organized Crime Control Bureau. These are their stories.")

The pilot episode marks the first time all five Stabler children are seen together in an episode.

Second show in the "Law & Order" franchise which features a regular cast member (not a guest star) whose character is a criminal, and not a member of the law enforcement community. The first was Law & Order True Crime (2017).

First appearance of Elliot Stabler in a "Law & Order" series since Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) episode Smoked (2011), which was the season 12 finale.

This is the eighth different series in the Law & Order franchise. The franchise includes: Law & Order (1990), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999), Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001), Law & Order: Trial by Jury (2005), Law & Order: UK (2009), Law & Order: LA (2010), and Law & Order True Crime (2017).
