"If the opportunity presents itself to bring Dick Grayson back for an episode or two, then by all means it'll happen."

- Kristin Kreuk told VSGuide that Lana Lang will find herself in a very familiar environment in this episode, and will lend her experiences and expertise to a struggling Jimmy (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) who lost his adoptive parents last season.

"We get to explore Lana's history a little bit too in losing her parents, and remind the audience of where Lana's been prior to this point in her life."

TheVPN has recently revealed that the actress is only booked for two episodes this season due to her busy schedule filming the new Star Wars instalment, with the premiere being her first appearance, and this episode being her second.
