Jenna Well, Warren and Halstead said they also just loved having plotlines in general with Rainn and John together, similar to their script After Hours with the bedbugs. Warren said that he and Halstead would often approach Jim/ Dwight scenes as if they were a buddy cop movie where both cops want the same goal but their methods to achieving that goal are always fraught with squabbling and misunderstandings, but in the end, they have a bit of a friendship. And I thought that was just such a fun way to explain Jim and Dwight, especially in this episode.
