Production Notes

 * This episode marks the death of Adam.
 * "Requiem" was written by series creator Joss Whedon and Eric Kripke. While filming was underway for the seventh season, many members of the crew felt that the show had entered into its final season. Executive producer Joss Whedon later explained that "there was a pretty strong sentiment inside and outside the show that it was time to call it a day." As the season progressed, however, the idea of producing another season emerged. It was believed that Adam would die in the final episode had this been the series final. One idea proposed was an alternate ending set many months later, but the idea was scraped, instead the series did jump forward one year later beginning with season 8.

Continuity

 * This episode continues directly from where the previous episode left off.
