The episode was written by the serial's executive producer Jason Herbison and directed by Eugenie Muggleton and Kate Kendall.

The plot focuses on Hendrix Greyson's (Ben Turland) trip to Sydney, where he intends to tell his family that he has been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis.

Hendrix is accompanied by his girlfriend Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone) and the pair tour his favourite childhood locations around the city, furthering the exploration of the character's background.

Turland called the scenes "confronting" and said that his family "need to get their heads around it", but Hendrix's parents are keen to help him.

[6] Turland said filming the episode was a lot of fun, but described it as "a pretty tough shoot" due to bad weather.
