Trivia

• The League of Assassins is disbanded by Nyssa al Ghul as of this episode.
• This episode shares the same name with an episode of the 1990s Flash television series starring John Wesley Shipp, as well as an episode of The New Batman Adventures, "Sins of the Father". Both names are deriving from the biblical term for sins passing from generation to generation.

Goofs/Errors

• Laurel tells Nyssa that Sara's soul was restored, something Nyssa didn't appear to know. However, in a flashback from the DC's Legends of Tomorrow episode "River of Time", it was revealed that Sara had visited Nyssa at Nanda Parbat shortly after leaving Star City.
• After Oliver cuts off Malcolm's hand and gives Nyssa the Demon's Head ring, there is a shot of Malcolm lying unconscious with both of his hands as the League kneels before Nyssa.
