Notes[]
- During the closing scene, Susan mentions that Olivia is having friends over for dinner, though Olivia hadn't been introduced as a character yet. This continuity error is due to the episode being taped on September 7, 1976, while Olivia's debut appearance (Episode 0950) had been taped six days prior.
