** Michele [=McNally=] came up with Eden's makeup herself. She also had a hand in pitching suggestions for her costume.
* BasedOnADream: TheReveal was in fact inspired by a dream Bobby Calloway had years previously.
* {{Corpsing}}: Before shooting their scene, Michele [=McNally=] had joked that she kept thinking her line referenced 'Queens' or 'Queensland' rather than Yorkshire. As a result, when actually filming her closeups, Bobby Calloway kept bursting into hysterical giggles (even though Michele was saying the line right). He had to actually turn away from her for that line to avoid Corpsing.

* FakeBrit: Adam Douglas is Irish putting on an English accent as George. Bobby Calloway is Irish as well, but speaks with an English accent naturally.
