A character named Tess gets referenced again in this episode by having Isobel's mom talk about how Tess expects the container she placed her home cooked food for Isobel to be returned promptly. This might be a way to continue to reference Tess Harding from the original Roswell TV Series.
In April 2019, Amber Midthunder, who played Liz's older sister Rosa in a recurring capacity in the first season, was promoted to the main cast for the second season. This was the first episode for Amber to be credited as a series regular.
The episode is named after the song "Stay (I Missed You)" by Lisa Loeb, released in 1994.
