In a Facebook Live Q&A promoting The Return (2017), Kyle Maclachlan stated that the shot of Leland (Ray Wise) screaming in the sprinkler water that appears like rain is his favorite shot in the entire run of the show, because it was so beautiful.
Kyle MacLachlan got his second Emmy Award nomination for this episode.
Final regular appearance of Ray Wise and Sheryl Lee from the main and regular supporting cast respectively. Lee was the only member of the regular supporting cast who had been credited and appeared in every episode up until this point, and her departure ironically also makes her the only one of the supporting cast to be written out indefinitely.
When Twin Peaks was rerun on the Bravo cable network in 1993, David Lynch wrote new introductions for each episode that were performed by Catherine Coulson as The Log Lady. The one for this episode was thus:
"So now the sadness comes. The revelation. There is a depression after an answer is given. It was almost fun not knowing. Yes, now we know. At least we know what we sought in the beginning. But there is still the question, why? And this question will go on and on until the final answer comes. Then the knowing is so full there is no room for questions."
