The title is based on the quote "For as you sow, ye are like to reap," which is from a Samuel Butler (1612-1680) poem that acquired some Biblical inspiration from the Book of Galatians, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
The episode's director, Kyle MacLachlan, had previously started in the episode "Carrion Death". In this episode, one of the stars is his "Twin Peaks" costar Miguel Ferrer.
