Trivia

 * This is the Second Time episode with the least amount of dialogue, since none of the flashbacks contain any lines.
 * Due to its lack of dialogue, this episode was one of the hardest to write, since many things had to be implied with actions. The biggest of these is the flowers themselves, which show the different expectations Matt and Anne had going into this meet-up. Matt brought the flowers in hopes of reconciliation, but that obviously didn't happen.
 * The first draft of this episode originally contained a break-up scene between Matt and Anne, but it was scrapped in favor of the post-break-up scene shown in the episode.
 * An early draft of this episode extended the first flashback to also show Matt going to a flower shop to buy the flowers. This was scrapped for fear of there being too long of a stretch without dialogue in the episode.
