When Stella is having coffee with Tom in her bedroom, she recounts an anecdote "A woman once asked a male friend why men felt threatened by women. He replied that they were afraid that women might laugh at them. When she asked a group of women why women felt threatened by men, they said we're afraid they might kill us."
This quote is from a speech given by author Margaret Atwood who wrote the source novel for The Handmaid's Tale (2017).
Stella Gibson pointedly reminds ACC Jim Burns (John Lynch ) that he "Crossed the line" with his advances on her in a previous episode.
John Lynch starred in the series Crossing Lines (2013) which aired the previous year.
This episode has an alternate title "In summation".
