Notes/Spoilers[]

There were outtakes of the Kadena pillowfort scene where the fort kept collapsing. ^[1]
This episode was pitched by Sarah Watson as an homage to Richard Linklater's 1996 film, "Before Sunrise," where a love story unfolds over the course of a single night. Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
The writers spent such a long time trying to come up with a way that Kat and Adena could hook up in the airport, that they basically had Kat buy the first class ticket for that reason. ^[2]
In the Incite article, they photoshopped show creator Sarah Watson's actual protest sign from the Women's March into the main photo. ^[3]

Trivia[]

The episodes writer, Lynn Sternberger, used her own experiences from her marriage when writing Kat and Adena as her now wife was not a US citizen when they first got together. She had also previously worked with Aisha Dee on another project.
