Trivia

• This episode shares its title with the 1985 Chuck Norris film of the same name, Code of Silence.
• This episode introduces the Demolition Team. In the DC comics, they are traditionally enemies to Green Lantern and Superman.
• Oliver tells Curtis Holt that he's "terrific", which is a reference to his comic counterpart's codename, Mister Terrific.
  • This is also a foreshadowing of Curtis becoming Mr. Terrific in Season 5.
• This episode marks Lyla Michaels becoming the new director of A.R.G.U.S..
• At Oliver's and Felicity's engagement party, Laura Hoffman, their former neighbor from Ivy Town, says she has the perfect wedding gift for them. Felicity guesses it's a slow cooker. This is a reference to "Green Arrow" when Laura and Adam Hoffman recommended Oliver and Felicity buy a slow cooker.

Goofs

• Around 34:30, as Thea and Laurel fight Rosie and the camera closes in on Diggle, the cameraman's shadow is clearly in sight.
