Originally, adult film star Chloe Cherry was supposed to be completely naked during the scene where her character Faye is shoved into a vent by boyfriend Custer (Tyler Chase). But Chase complained saying it was too much so creator Sam Levinson decided to keep her clothed, even though Cherry had no problem with it.
The episode is filmed under the working title, "Parce Domine", which is referenced to Westworld (2016).
Matt Shakman and Michael Slovis were offered to direct, but however, they turned down due to creator's differences with the love triangle.
