Trivia
The introduction of a sexual rapport between the characters of Audrey Horne and Dale Cooper was a suggestion of director Duwayne Dunham, who felt it would benefit both characters. Dunham felt that the central mystery in the series - the murder of schoolgirl Laura Palmer - was simply a "MacGuffin" to compel what he saw as the real focus, the interaction of the large ensemble cast.

Goofs
The fact that there was a year's gap between the filming of Northwest Passage (1989) and this one is evident in the different hairstyles sported by some of the cast. Although they take place on consecutive days, James Hurley, Sheriff Truman, and Deputy Brennan all have shorter haircuts by the next day, while Donna Hayward, Catherine Martell and Audrey Horne (in particular) all have noticeably longer hair.
