Natasha Gerasimova, production designer for the reshoots, called the opening cave set the "hardest one" to design for during the reshoots because there was no real-world equivalent to draw from since it was a "completely invented space". She tried to make it look like a real cave, and it was conceived and built in four weeks, the fastest she had ever designed and built a set. The set was built from foam, and also included the markings of the
Filming and visual effects
Filming took place at
The opening flashback scene in the cave where Aisha and the other Clandestines find the bangle was filmed during the series reshoots in Atlanta.[10] The dance team BFunk was brought in to choreograph the Bollywood dance number at Aamir and Tyesha's wedding to create an authenticity to it, while making it "be fun and look good, but [not] too good".[16] The cast was excited to learn and perform the dance number, with Fletcher noting it felt like a real wedding. Lintz, who noted he was not much of a dancer, felt his lack of skills was "in line" with Bruno's character for his solo dance.[17] Menon added that they wanted to "lean into the personalities of all the characters and make sure that they seem like real people that are trying to dance".[16] Shaikh added that it was "typical" in Pakistani weddings for the bride to be unaware of the groom joining in the dance, even though "it happens every time", which happens in the episode with Tyesha unaware Aamir would be dancing.[17] Menon said the creatives wanted a song that was "kind of old school for the parents to dance to" to then transition to an "upbeat and Bhangra-infused for the younger folks to dance to", noting finding the right two songs for the sequence proved challenging.[16]
For Kamala's fight sequence at the wedding, various other Bon Jovi songs were considered before settling on "Livin' on a Prayer". Menon believed the story in "Livin' on a Prayer" of "two scrappy kids from New Jersey trying to survive under what feels like impossible odds" made it the perfect song to represent Kamala. This fight was meant to represent Kamala becoming a more complete hero, with more control over her powers, compared to the "more improvised" save of the boy at the mosque in the previous episode.[16]
