* IKnewIt: The moment this episode's title was announced, fans correctly predicted that it would mark the point the 2002-04 timeline was left behind completely, since it breaks the "X and Y" IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming convention all the previous episodes this season had.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: For the montage of Gene ingratiating himself with the security guards, Peter Gould really wanted "Jim on the Move" by Lalo Schifrin, from ''Series/MissionImpossible''--a Paramount property. Paramount initially refused to play ball with Sony, and dragged out negotiations for the piece, but ultimately acquiesced. After the episode was locked, Gould found out during the recording of the corresponding podcast episode that Pat Healy (Jeff) had previously commissioned a new version of "Jim on the Move" directly from Schifirin, which Paramount had no claim to and which could've been used instead.

** The store Gene and Jeff steal from was originally meant to be a real department store, but all of the stores they approached refused permission. They ended up using the empty site of a closed-down store, with all the clothes and furniture provided by the props department. The effect was so convincing that Pat Healy initially didn't realise it wasn't a real store.

** Pat Healy had auditioned for three other roles on ''Saul'', and follows the fan community well enough to know that there was some backlash over his replacing of Don Harvey.

* TrollingCreator: The pre-release description for the episode was "A new player gets in the game", which led many fans to believe that this was a hint for the long-awaited Walter White cameo. The actual meaning of the phrase ended up to be more mundane: the episode is set entirely during Gene's timeline and the "new player" turned out to be Jeff.

* SpecialGuest: As mentioned above, Carol Burnett does a guest role (as Jeff's mother Marion). Though it's very understated, as her appearance was not flashed in promotionals.

The audio came from Pat Healy in a sound booth weeks before the promos aired, as confirmed by Pat Healy himself on the corresponding podcast episode.


* TheOtherDarrin: Pat Healy plays Jeff in this episode, replacing Creator/DonHarvey who played him in the earlier FlashForward scenes in Seasons 4 and 5, due to Harvey having a scheduling conflict. This also incorporated [[FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin reshooting the earlier scenes]] with Healy in Harvey's place for the pre-release teasers, likely to make sure audiences drew the connection that this was the same character from before, just with a new actor. There's also a subtle moment of PaintingTheMedium: the first time Jeff appears in this episode, the shot is framed identically to his first appearance in "Smoke", appearing in the rear-view mirror of his taxi, so the viewer knows they're the same character.
