Kalinda Vazquez came up with the title of this episode, which is an egg-based pun.

The title is taken from the saying "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry," which is adapted from the poem "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns: "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley" (meaning "The best-laid schemes of mice and men / Go oft awry").

According to Kristin Bauer van Straten, the chemistry between Maleficent and Regina was intentionally portrayed to hint at them having a romantic relationship:

“Do you think Regina and Maleficent had a thing/relationship?”

This question was asked towards Kristin Bauer who portrays Maleficent on Once Upon a Time. Bauer replied, “I think there’s something going on. I love Lana (Parrilla), so that’s what came across in filming the scenes and we just put that into the characters. And also, those scenes were so pivotal I felt, for Maleficent. She was pretty much done and that young girl saw something in her. We just kept rolling with that relationship that we felt personally and I thought made sense with the scene as well, yes.”

In a deleted scene from Unforgiven, Snow White and Prince Charming are journeying through the Enchanted Forest with Maleficent, Ursula and Cruella. Snow White whispers to her husband that their companions are cold-hearted killers and they can't keep working with them, but Charming doesn't think they will take their rejection lightly. As they arrive at a clearing, Maleficent says that they will make camp there for the night. With a wave of her staff, two tents manifest. Cruella says that they'll "take the nice one" and she and her fellow Queens of Darkness walk toward one of the tents, while Snow and Charming look at each other exasperatedly.
