PRODUCTION NOTES
- The episode was written in one weekend (the first and only without an outline while Charles Rosin was with the show) because the network passed on a planned story about Brandon meeting a homeless veteran
- The episode is the first on the show to be filmed in Beverly Hills, specifically in Roxbury Park, also the setting for a pivotal moment on the show[1]
