 Patty Hearst guest stars in the episode, something that was planned since July 2006. Hearst did not know that she would be appearing on the show until after she was chosen due to a lack of communication between her and her agent. She was reluctant to appear as a character similar to herself, but she eventually agreed. In addition, Hearst's character was initially scheduled to have a lesbian kiss with Keri Lynn Pratt's character, but the scene was vetoed by the network for unknown reasons.
