Special Notes / Trivia
 |
You may recognize Mark Schubb, Catherine's dancing partner, as Kristy McNichol's boyfriend from "Only When I Laugh" |
|

First sight of Joe's apartment |
|
Michael and Mark Cussett, who wrote episode 18, are "honored" in this episode by having one of the villain's henchman named "Cassut" |
|
Joe's apartment number in this episode is 412. It changes later in the series, so we must assume either that Joe moved in the interim or that continuity slipped up. |
