* AdaptationOriginConnection: A junior novelization of this two-parter reveals that Gil was the cop who forgot to sign off on the raid warrant that led to the release of Rupert Thorne's henchmen at the beginning of "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE10TwoFacePart1 Two-Face, Part 1]]", thus contributing to Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face.
Added DiffLines:
* SeriesContinuityError: After Batman squashes Two-Face with the Gotham Mint's giant silver dollar, Gordon claims that for once, a coin has flipped Two-Face instead of the other way around. This is actually the second time in the series he's been beaten that way, the first coming at the end of his flashback story in "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE46AlmostGotIm Almost Got 'Im]]".

Gil Mason was nearly shot, but the bullets hit the podium instead of him. Batgirl chased one of the assassins into an alley and managed to unmask him, but he escaped just after she got a good look at his face.

It turns out that Mason has been secretly cooperating with Two-Face, and the men in masks were Two-Face's own goons; Mason and Two-Face had arranged for the conniving deputy to be shot at so that no one would ever suspect that Mason had been in on the plot as well.
