The performances in this episode help establish the stakes for the rest of the season:
The making of this episode was as dramatic behind the camera as it was on screen. While the main plot was focused on intense drama, the filming of the "Grupa de Dorobanti" (an ensemble of younger actors) involved considerable .

His attempt to sneeze during one take to lighten the mood backfired, leading to even more slaps and a universally red cheek by the end of filming!
