This is the third time that the SVU's former ADA and the current ADA appear in the same episode, in this case Alexandra Cabot and Sonia Paxton. The first time was in season six's Ghost (2005) when Casey Novak (then the current ADA) appeared alongside Alexandra Cabot and the second was in season ten's Lead (2009) when Kim Greylek (then the current ADA) appeared along with Cabot. The fourth time was in season nineteen's The Undiscovered Country (2018) with Rafael Barba and Peter Stone and the fifth time was in season nineteen's Sunk Cost Fallacy (2018) with Peter Stone and Alexandra Cabot.
Girls Gone Wild (GGW) was an adult entertainment franchise created by Joe Francis in 1997, and lasted until 2011. The videos followed a common formula in which a film crew interacts with a large crowd of people either at a party, club, or other event. Women take off their clothes, engage in sexual activities, or participate in wet T-shirt contests. The show was subject to numerous lawsuits and controversies. The founder, Joe Francis, served 339 days in jail after pleading guilty to child abuse and prostitution charges, in a case that involved the videotaping of underage girls in Florida in 2003.
A "Brady Violation" is a pretrial discovery rule, that was established by the United States Supreme Court in Brady v. Maryland (1963).

Stabler has twins Dicky and Liz. It makes sense that the two older siblings (Maureen and Kathleen) aren't in this episode, because they're in college, but it doesn't make sense that Liz isn't in the episode, since her and Dicky would be in the same grade, at the same school.
