Special Notes / Trivia

A couple of bloopers appeared in this episode. Two shots of Vincent writing in his journal are identical.  Also, a baby grand piano sitting in a chamber for years will not remain in proper tune
This episode answered the nagging question of how Diana acquired the gold and opal ring which Vincent had taken from Snow's body.  Without this episode, we saw only a note delivered to Diana with the ring enclosed and a note of trust from Vincent which was completely out of context and character at that time.
Diana finds Vincent the night of October 10, 1988
