Trivia

• Natalie Zea, who plays Zoe, is married to Travis Schuldt, who appeared in the third season finale of 9-1-1 as Abigail Clark's fiancee Sam Egan.
• TK reveals it had been 116 days since his breakup with Alex, indicating three months have passed since he and Owen moved to Texas.
• Brian Michael Smith had a hand in helping write his character, Paul's side story in the episode. With the bull factory emergency being one of his favorite incidents.
  • The bull factory incident was inspired by a similar incident that took place in September 2019 in Victoria, Australia when a “genetics laboratory and storage facility” containing cattle semen caught fire, resulting in the cryogenic cylinders popping off projecting out of the building, similar to what happens in the episode.
• A promotional image featuring TK and Carlos having dinner together was a cut scene, according to Tim Minear, due to their dialogue relating to the plot which had changed by the time filming for the episode finished up.

Goofs

• Colleen asks Grace if it has really been 4 months since she was intimate with Judd when she says they haven't been together since the incident. This would have actually been 9 months prior.
