* {{Corpsing}}: This episode took much longer to film due to the cast finding it difficult to stop laughing. Creator/AmyAcker and Creator/AndyHallett ruined dozens of takes by giggling, and Creator/AlexisDenisof and Creator/DavidBoreanaz prolonged shooting for an hour and a half when they couldn't stop laughing. To get the scene, Denisof explains he and Boreanaz resolved not to look at each other; on the DVDCommentary, Creator/JossWhedon points out background shots where Boreanaz is still failing to keep a straight face.

* RecycledScript: This seems to be the ''Angel'' equivalent to ''Buffy'''s "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E8TabulaRasa Tabula Rasa]]": both episodes are mostly lighthearted romps involving the main cast having their memories erased or altered and wacky hijinx ensuing as a result, only to pull a complete 180 in the last act and end things on downbeat note.

* ActorInspiredElement: It was Creator/AmyAcker's idea that Wesley should duct-tape Lorne to the pouffe, or hassock, in the middle of the room. Creator/JossWhedon knew that he wanted Lorne to be in the middle of things, and Lorne had to be able to talk and interact, but he should not be able to move around or influence people except by reasoning with them. Whedon says in the Commentary that he had been baffled what to do with Lorne, until Acker had her suggestion.

* ThrowItIn: One scene had to be restructured so that Angel and Wesley didn't have to look at each other because neither actor could keep a straight face.

* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: Between the shooting of "[[Recap/AngelS04E05Supersymmetry Supersymmetry]]" and this episode, Creator/CharismaCarpenter had asked whether she could get a hair cut. Creator/JossWhedon explained that this would start just moments after the previous episode ended, so she should please not do so. But Creator/DavidBoreanaz didn't get the message, and he did go get a trim.
