Trivia[]

  • This episode's opening and ending scenes were taken out and added to the episode "Butterfly" as the two episodes switched order as the writers felt "Butterfly " would be a better second episode for the series. This resulted in this episode missing eight minutes of content. The writers decided to film a new opening scene with Audrey and Duke and add the original ending scenes from "Butterfly." They also expanded upon characters moments in the final cut of the episode, which includes the scene where Audrey tries out many dresses for the Second Chance Bistro dinner.[1]
  • David Hughes who plays Big Benjy in the episode tried out for the role of Vince Teagues but Dave Teagues had already been casted and the producers felt Hughes looked too much like John Dunsworth and they wanted someone who had a different look from him.[2]
  • Sebastian Pigott who plays Bill McShaw in the episode tried out for the role of Nathan before Lucas Bryant won the role.[3]
