Trivia

 * This is the first episode not to star Drew.
 * It was decided that much of the events of Season 1 would be ret-conned, as the first season was filmed back in 2015-2016, in the (at the time) crew's freshman year of high school, and was almost entirely improvised. The retold story was told through the recaps.
 * This episode was originally intended to be completely different. The original draft of this episode was mainly written by Michael C., who plays Quirbit, but it was later decided that a time jump would occur, dropping the modpack and doing a soft reboot. A small portion Michael's planned story line is confirmed to still be adapted into the current story.
 * This is the first episode to be uploaded in 1080p.
 * This is the first episode to use an overhauled version of the older intro, which was not used from Reconstructing the Past through The Truth.
 * This episode was originally filmed before The Truth was written and filmed, but was redone to fix inconsistencies created by The Truth and other improvements.
 * While the first half of the recap was created in Blender, the second half, or the events from mid-season 2 onward, was mostly done with either previous footage, or in-game captured footage with shaders due to the amount of time it would take to get modded blocks into the animation software being too long, which would delay the episode by months.
