Trivia
Although he played Wilton Knight in the pilot, Knight of the Phoenix: Part 1 (1982) and Knight of the Phoenix: Part 2 (1982), this is the only episode in the series to not feature Richard Basehart. He can be heard in all subsequent episodes, as the Narrator's voice in the opening title sequence.

Goofs
When Michael tells K.I.T.T. to go into surveillance mode while he investigates Col. Ladd's office, the view of the dash shows a cheap, hastily made prop interface with an all-white label saying "Knight 2000" where the red indicator of K.I.T.T.'s voice synthesis should be.

Quotes
Michael Knight: Michael, I can no longer sanction your wild goose chases.
Devon Miles: Devon, someone tried to kill me last night.

P.Y.T

Knight takes a detour in more way than one to help out a damsel in distress. I find it odd that he was basically allowed to wander around a military base.
