This episode garnered a 28.1 rating, becoming the most watched episode of the season and of the series. 24,137,900 households (approximately 36 millions of viewers) tuned in to see who survived the season five cliffhanger.
Joan Collins (Alexis) does not appear in this episode because of a contract dispute. As a result, the episode had to be rewritten to explain her absence and many of Alexis' scenes were given to Krystle. In the original script (second revised final draft), Blake noticed the absence of Krystle at the aeroport. It turns out that Krystle was retained in the same dungeon as Alexis.
Maxwell Caulfield (Miles) joins the cast as Miles Colby. The character of Miles Colby was originally to be called Max. However, producers changed the character's name to avoid confusion with actor Maxwell Caulfield who played Miles.
At the end of the recap, a shot of Amanda and Michael kissing was added. It was absent in the original scene.

Shooting dates: from July 8, 1985 to July 16, 1985
Trimmed scenes: Adam, Claudia and Dominique getting out of the church ; Steven makes a remark about Fallon.
Unfilmed scene : Amanda is freaking out and Krystle tries to comfort her (the scene was not filmed because Linda Evans was given Joan Collin's lines and Krystle was retained by Warnick instead of being in the palace with the Carringtons).
Filming Locations: Warner Hollywood studios; Harold Lloyd's Greenacres Estate (Beverly Hills); Los Angeles Equestrian Center (Burbank).
