Jeremy Strong submitted this episode to support his nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, which he won.
The episode won 2 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.
Series creator Jesse Armstrong stated in an interview that the decision to film the episode on a yacht mirrored the real-life history of media moguls like Robert Maxwell conducting important meetings on family yachts. The yacht scenes were filmed in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia.
According to series star Brian Cox, the ending of the episode is meant to serve as a culmination of Logan's relationship with his children, particularly Kendall. In an interview with Deadline Hollywood, Cox said, "these are entitled children who've had everything done for them, and they need to be schooled on the harsh realities of business... [Logan]'s testing his children to see if they have the mettle in them, and for a lot of the episodes, the mettle is not clear. Logan does love his children, but at the same time, it's all about their worth in terms of the company."
On the yacht, Gerri is reading "The lullaby of Polish girls", written by Dagmara Dominczyk. Dagmara Dominczyk is the actress that plays the role of Karolina - legal advisor of Waystar Royco.
