Episode dedicated with thanks and tribute to The Alzheimer's Association.
Due to scheduling conflicts, John Wesley Shipp (Sheriff Burns) and Edward Asner (Lester Bell) were not in the same recording session. Showrunner David A. Gregory read Shipp's lines opposite Asner. Matt Locker (Preacher in the previous episode) read Asner's lines opposite Shipp and Gregory in a separate session.
David A. Gregory (Deputy Bell) wrote the song his character sings in this episode, which was integrated into the guitar underscore by composer Benjamin James.
With very few script changes, this episode was performed from what was essentially a first draft.
Received an Award of Distinction from the National Audio Theatre Festival's MTB Scriptwriting Competition.
