In the episode, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) held a baby shirtless, to medically stabilize him; McKee commented on this: "Alex’s story came from these cases I’d been reading about tiny, preemie babies where the doctors had done everything medically possible, but the babies just weren’t strong enough to rally." She also noted that the idea of the surprise party was "based on a true story, too. A true Grey’s story. It happened a few years ago, when we threw Krista Vernoff a surprise baby shower."
