Scottie Thompson's character, Jeanne Benoit, was introduced early in the fourth season as a love interest for Tony. Tony and Jeanne's story arc was later tied into Jenny's and her vendetta against arms dealer La Grenoille when it is revealed that he is Jeanne's father. It becomes apparent at the end of this episode that Tony's relationship with her was initially an assignment given to him by Jenny and that he is using an alias. Due to these developments, Bellisario dubbed Season 4 "the season of secrets".
