"There's Got to Be a Morning After Pill" features a story by Jonathan Moskin and David Mulei and a teleplay by Moskin, Phil Klemmer, and John Enbom, marking Moskin and Mulei's second writing credits for the series, Klemmer's thirteenth writing credit for the show, and Enbom's fourteenth credit. It was directed by Tricia Brock, her only episode of "Veronica Mars". The actor who played the witness to Dean O'Dell's death had previously appeared as an extra in "Spit & Eggs" during a party scene, nonverbally interacting with Piz (Chris Lowell). Series creator Rob Thomas enjoyed the cameo so much that he cast the actor as the witness character in this episode.
