Kristin Scott Thomas was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for this episode, for her role as the Belinda Friers. However, she ultimately lost to Jane Lynch's performance as Sophie Lennon on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's season two episode "Vote for Kennedy, Vote for Kennedy."
Belinda asks Fleabag, "do you like old films?" She replies, "Some." Belinda asks, "And what's your favorite period film?" Fleabag responds, "Carrie," and both women laugh. This is because instead of using the word "period" in the way Belinda intended (classic movies), Fleabag instead chose to interpret it using one of its other meanings (menstruation).
