Special Notes / Trivia

Mary has been in the tunnels for 19 years
Some additional music in this episode was written by William Ross
Catherine kisses Vincent in this episode - if you look closelyafter Vincent is shot by the feral child, Catherine definitely kisses him quickly on the lips (or nose - it is difficult to tell which).  This loss of sequence is explained by the fact that the episode was originally shot after "Orphans", which was meant to be Catherine and Vincent's first kiss. Last-minute scheduling changes imposed by CBS resulted in this strange reversal. Another botched call by CBS.
