Background information and notes[]
Production[]
- Final appearance of the character Nora Collins.
Story[]
- Kitty was fooled by Count Petofi when they first met. She saw what helping Petofi did to Gerald.
- Quentin in the body of Count Petofi says to Kitty, "You remember this hand, Lady Hampshire? Look at it. It has certain powers. If I pass it over your face, you will disappear. Shall I prove it to you?" Now how would she know about the hand when Petofi didn't have it at the time? (She is probably aware of its legend.)
- INTERNAL MONOLOGUE: Quentin: She must have returned to 1969.
- TIMELINE: It was the "other night" when Kitty was compelled to go to the rectory. 7:30pm: Quentin and Kitty at the rectory. Quentin wants Kitty to get the portrait by 9pm. Quentin and Angelique are getting married tomorrow at 2pm. 8pm: Kitty and Nora in the drawing room. 8:30pm: Kitty and Edward in the drawing room. 8:45pm: Nora goes to bed.
Bloopers and continuity errors[]
- Right after Kitty talks of her fears of becoming someone else, Edward calls her "Katie".
- Julia's 1969 clothing is still in the rectory - shouldn't it have returned to 1969 when Julia did?
- In a ruse to garner her help, Quentin, as Petofi, threatens Kitty by showing her his hand and reminding her that she knows what kind of power it has, and she falls for it... yet, it's already been established that Petofi had his hand cut off by the gypsies a hundred years ago, so there is no way Kitty would know the power of his hand, since he had no hand when he knew Kitty in England only a few years before the current events transpired.
- Nora plays an illegal checkers move in order to fit in with the dialogue “you aren’t just letting me win are you?”
