* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Offerman's monologue is meant to describe a very rare and expensive chair he wanted to use for this scene, but they weren't able to get it in time, forcing him to use his actor skills to apply that description to a [[InformedAbility much less impressive]] feat of woodworking.

** Mike Schur in interviews clarified that his interpretation of the AmbiguousEnding is that the final disposition of Eleanor's soul itself is meant to be a mystery. The "sparks" left behind by her soul aren't a final answer of what happened to her soul as a whole, just one final effect her soul has on the universe before its exit.

** The scene where Eleanor and Janet reminisce on the bench was originally going to have them toast and give a speech about Jason, Tahani, and Chidi. While Eleanor gave her speech about each of the humans, clips of Michael on Earth would be shown, along with his own segment at the end. It was cut as they felt it wasn't really necessary (the entire episode was basically a toast to the humans), plus it went on too long, and already seeing Michael as a human lessened the impact of his own speech at the end.

* AbsenteeActor: They tried very hard to get Creator/LeslieGrossman, who played Eleanor's mother, for this episode. Unfortunately, she was filming a pilot for Creator/RyanMurphy and her schedule couldn't work out.

* TheDanza: It's easy to miss, but you can see on the poster that the name of the guitar teacher is 'Mary,' and she's played by Creator/MarySteenburgen.



* RealLifeRelative: Michael’s guitar tutor, [[TheDanza Guitar Mary]], is played by Creator/MarySteenburgen, Ted Danson’s wife.

Added DiffLines:

** Chidi putting his hands in his pockets as he walks through the arch was a spontaneous decision by Creator/WilliamJacksonHarper. Creator/MichaelSchur used that take as the action perfectly encapsulated Chidi's arc toward becoming someone at peace with his own decisions.

* RealitySubtext: Derek's eyes glow white in this episode. This was partly because Creator/JasonMantzoukas was struggling with his lines because he didn't have time to memorize them, so the effect obscure the face that he was looking down at the script rather than straight at the camera.
