Robin Weigert practiced with a bullwhip for several days, anticipating that Jane would perform with her whip during the Amateur Night show. Ultimately, however, it was decided not to have Jane show off her bullwhip skills, and Weigert's practice was for nought.
Second time that a character played by Paula Malcomson has interacted with Wyatt and Morgan Earp. Malcomson played Allie Earp (Virgil Earp's wife) in Tombstone (1993).
The song that Al sings while he's alone in the Gem is a traditional British folk song called "The Unfortunate Rake." It tells the tale of a man who is dying of an infection contracted from a woman of ill repute. Given his line of work, it's not surprising that Al knows the words.
