 Principal shooting for the episode began on Soundstage 5 at the Twentieth Century Fox lot on April 20, 2000.Because large parts of this episode as well as the pilot are supposed to take place in the same fictional city of Bellefleur, Oregon.This caused something of an issue, as the pilot had originally been shot on location in Lynn Valley in North Vancouver, British Columbia, in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve—formerly known as the Seymour Demonstration Forest.
