The flower shown in the first scene is a desert blue bell; they symbolise humility and everlasting love.
This is one of only two episodes to not feature the show's regular outro music over the end credits (the other was Lantern (2017)).
The blue desert flower in the opening shots is commonly called a "Canterbury Bell" and is native to the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts.
Filming for the episode took place between April and May 2021. Actor Michael Mando (Nacho) described his character's journey and the allusions in the episode, to the ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, practices in the Aztec and Mayan cultures, and the religious motif of weighing a person's soul.
The episode's cold open was shot simultaneously with the oil tanker scene on a different soundstage, where they added a 40 by 40 feet patch of desert, with a green screen in the background. It took two days to prepare, and was shot using a motion control rig.
