• On later airings of the episode, the date was changed to "1942." This was corrected in the DVD release.
• This is the only episode to indicate that Gabrielle had children. It also implies the existence of offspring for both Joxer and Xena, which would later be confirmed in the fifth season.
• This episode prompted the beginning of the Uberfic.
