Milestones
| Vincent and Catherine's 2-year anniversary (So the date must be April 12, 1988). | |
| Catherine's closest brush with death since "Beast Within" | |
| Joe makes another subtle attempt to gain Catherine's affections in this episode |
Special Notes / Trivia
| Catherine's phone number at home is (212) 555-8291 | |
| Catherine's apartment number is 21E (though she lives on the 18th floor) | |
| The license plate of the car used to abduct Catherine was NY state CLO-426. Whether the car belonged to Catherine or to the Watcher is unresolved | |
| This episode contained two major bloopers. Catherine gave her gun to Father in "The Outsiders". Father gives Diana Bennet the same gun during the third season. How did the gun get back into Catherine's apartment? Second, after the watcher's first call, Catherine's frantic slamming of the receiver left the phone off the hook. How was he then able to call back the second time, since Catherine did not replace the receiver before the second call arrived. |
