Special Notes / Trivia
 |
Terrylene Theriot is deaf in real life. The Sign Language interpreter this week was Bill Pugin. All signing was accurate. This episode marked the first use of closed-captioning, which was eventually added to all episodes of Beauty and the Beast |
|
More shots were fired in the flashback sequence of the shooting then were fired in the original shooting! Continuity experts take note -- we miss nothin! Also, his gun held 7 shots! He fired 3 to kill the man in the car and 4 at the fleeing Laura |
|
In the tunnels, "Home Signing" was used -- however, above, the signing was "American Sign Language", subtly different from HS |
|
Look closely at the gentleman videotaping Laura's testimony at the police station. He is Howard Gordon, one of the executive producers of Beauty and the Beast |
