While drinking with Madison, Strand notes a hint of a southern accent. She tells him she is from Alabama. In real life, Kim Dickens was born in Huntsville, Alabama.
The scene of Madison and Strand drinking at the bar was filmed inside the Rosarito Beach Hotel in Mexico.
As Madison and the group walk up to the Rosarito Beach Hotel, they see the Spanish word above the entrance of the hotel lobby, "Bienvenidos". In Spanish, the word means "Welcome". The word exists over the actual Rosarito Hotel Lobby.
Mercedes Mason is not in the show for the next two episodes and, in fact, only appears in two more episodes in Season 2.
