Troian Bellisario and Ashley Benson both cited the famous Hanna-Caleb-Spencer door scene in this episode as one of their favourite scenes in the show.
In the forest, Hanna parked the car next to a tree that subconsciously reminded her of a tree that might be inhabited by Keebler Elves. Inspired by memories of her childhood years and being overly fond of sweets. At the time, Keebler Elves were still on TV in a multitude of commercials promoting the sale of Keebler cookies.
