Production[edit]

The episode received a table read on December 17, 2020, but Al Jean chose not to reveal the title or any details on it, till the writer Cesar Mazariegos announced it after having being asked on Twitter.[1][2][3]

Similar to the 4th season of Fargo, where they pan across a bunch of gangsters and you see all their names under them, the writer Dan Vebber named them all, but time costraints cut the scene. Animators designed some of them with the names in mind.[4]
