- TriviaThere are many theories revolving around the infamous Louis Vuitton bag. Robert Kardashian was on record as having said, "I never opened it." A scene in this episode has him doing exactly that, although he finds nothing.
- GoofsThe actor playing Johnnie Cochran explains that a Colombian necktie "results from the victim having their throat slashed, almost losing their head". While partially true, he failed to mention that the tongue of the victim is pulled out to create the tie.
- Quotes
[running through an alternate 'cover-up' scenario; holding up a glass]
Marcia Clark: Here's the crime scene, Bundy.
[holding another glass]
Marcia Clark: Here's O.J.'s house. Okay. Furhman made up his mind at Bundy that Simpson did it. Even though he had no idea if O.J. had an iron-clad alibi that would then ruin Furhman's career and land him in jail. Furhman takes the glove at Bundy, makes sure it has Goldman and Nicole's DNA on it, jumps in the car with the other detectives, heads to Rockingham with it, where he gets into the Bronco - *somehow* - getting all that evidence in it, including Simpson's blood. Even though the police didn't *have* Simpson's blood until the next day. Then he goes over the wall, plants the glove behind Kato's room. Then, with the help of the rest of his super-secret cabal of O.J.-hating racist cops, he starts getting everything just so, just where it needs to be. Nicole and Ron and O.J.'s blood into O.J.'s bedroom. O.J's blood back to Bundy. Oh, and O.J's Bronco's fibres back to Bundy, too. Oh, and they don't forget to get rid of the *real* killer's blood from the back gate, no, no, no, and replace it with O.J.'s blood. Then O.J's sock, they get that back to Bundy to pick up all the blood, and then get that sucker right back to Rockingham, too. These guys are a well-oiled conspiracy machine after all. All this during a time when everyone involved is under the most relentless media scrutiny in American history.
[Marcia imitates an explosion]
Christopher Darden: And all of this for an unknown killer.
Darrell: ...Maybe.
Marcia Clark: [exasperated] No!

While Marsha Clark (Sarah Paulson) and Chris Darden (Sterling K. Brown) take a weekend trip to unwind, their media circus picks up as Darden wants to put O.J. in the spotlight by making him try on the gloves that were found on the murder scene. While all of this is going on Robert Kardashian (David Schwimmer) begins to wonder why no other theories outside of O.J. being the killer seem possible.
As this series works towards the conclusion that everyone in America will be familiar with, it continues to really pick up speed in regards to drama and fireworks. There's no doubt that the series hit a home run in regards to the cast (except for O.J. but more on that in my series overview at the end of the series) and it continues to impress as Brown really gets to lead this episode. He's really turned Darden into a sympathetic character and someone who you really feel bad for. All of the right moves were hit in this episode as the in-fighting on the defense still packs a punch and it certainly paints a certain picture of the "real murderer" without having to be preachy. This episode is without question one of the best of the series.
