The interiors were filled with artifacts from the characters' lives. Paul and Anthony's kids contributed artwork; Chase Infiniti (Willa) lent her childhood photos. Graphic Artist Kerry Hyatt created fictional school certificates and Sensei's karate calendar, which Chase annotated herself after cooking her character's quinoa casserole on set—helping her inhabit her space. Property master Matt Cavaliero layered the house with paraphernalia and lighters, while Anderson's own phone was wired for the live call—later destroyed in Bob's frantic phone scene. Bob's Escape When the front door explodes practically (and reappears patched up at the end), Bob escapes through his handmade tunnel hidden under his bed—a now forgotten route leading to an outhouse in a junkyard of moss-covered toy cars discovered while scouting. The 60-foot tunnel, built on stage, was carved from foam blocks on a raised platform deck. A custom mud plaster was applied, with roots and debris added by greens foreman Charlie Jaramillo, inspired by real hand-dug cartel passages in Mexico. The outhouse concept came from scouting in Humboldt, where redwood stumps were often converted into showers or bathrooms. May Mitchell sourced a fallen tree from a local artist, which construction hollowed and lowered into place with a buried tank for Bob's emergence. Rain, mud and Charlie's detail work naturally aged the set until it blended seamlessly into the woods. D. BOB'S HOUSE. LIVING ROOM. SET PHOTO. E. BOB'S HOUSE, FRONT DOOR. SET PHOTO. F. BOB'S HOUSE.
