Production Notes

 * The show creators originally wanted Emma to get her own place in the fourth season, but the cost and the budget was prohibitive, and every time they tried to do it, they could not afford it. It was moved to Season Five instead.
 * The address number, 710, is a reference to the Grateful Dead House on Haight Ashbury, San Francisco. The famous rock band lived at 710 Ashbury Street from 1966 until 1968. According to Edward Kitsis, this reference was meant for him and Josh Dallas.

Prop Notes

 * Many Storybrooke locations contain nods to the Enchanted Forest. In Emma's house, there is a framed picture of a winter woods scene, which she uses to hide the stolen squid ink.
 * The same picture can be seen over the fish tank at the Storybrooke Pet Shelter in "7:15 A.M."

Set Dressing

 * When David is making Emma breakfast, the label on the bottle of orange juice says Andana; the Cebuano word for "floor, storey".
 * It is the same prop that was used for the orange juice that Zelena served Mary Margaret in "Quiet Minds".
