Special Notes / Trivia
 |
You may recall Beah Richards as Sidney Poitier's mother from "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" for which she was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress |
|
The representation of voodoo culture in this episode is completely at odds with actual voodoo custom and ritual. In actuality, voodoo is a very spiritual, introspective, and peaceful view of the world and human relations to it. |
|
This was the first episode in which the ending between Catherine and Vincent was completely silent |
