Notes and Trivia[]
- The scene where Wayne Hays drops Becca Hays off at college is one of the few scenes in the series not set in any of the three main timeline years (1980, 1990, and 2015). The scene appears to take place in the early 2000s judging by the ages of the characters and the model of the vehicles.
- The barn that Wayne Hays and Roland West take Harris James to is the same barn they take Ted LaGrange to in the second episode.
