After the episode aired, Gubler said in a statement, “It’s a joy to get to tell stories with people you love, so I will always cherish any moment, big or small, that I get to hug my Criminal Minds family or slip back into my dear friend Spencer’s oversized wingtips.” Prior to season 18’s release, showrunner Erica Messer exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 that there have been attempts to bring back Gubler, who is currently filming his upcoming CBS series, Einstein, but their schedules haven’t aligned.
