Background information and notes
Production
Story
- The vase used for the lottery draws was originally given to Brutus Collins by James Forsythe as a Christmas gift.
- Brutus Collins' sister Constance is mentioned, and the strange loyalty she had to him.
- James recognizes Carrie as his sister Sarah Forsythe. (Although the character of Sarah never appeared in the series, if she had presumably she would have been played by Kathy Cody.)
Bloopers and continuity errors
- Grayson Hall as Julia tells Bramwell that Morgan earlier confused herself with "Catherine Collins" when in fact she meant "Constance Collins".
- James tells Carrie to "turn on the light". In 1840, and a man from 1680, he would say "light the lamp" or perhaps, if the lamp had been left on a very low wick, "turn up the lamp".
