This episode sees the debut of actress Prisca Bakare in the role of Rosey, Sergeant J.P. Hooper's seldom seen and now heavily pregnant wife. The role was originated in Season 5 (4 episodes in 2016), by Fola Evans-Akingbola; credited under the character's maiden name, "Rosey Fabrice". The recasting of actor Tobi Bakare's real-life wife was probably necessary to meet Covid-19 shooting restrictions in 2020.
