Notes & Trivia[]

  • The opening voiceover for this episode was provided by actress Lara Parker.

Allusions[]

  • References is made to Thorndike and Hanley in this episode, which is a law firm representing the Collins family. In the year 1897, there is a lawyer named Evan Hanley, who could possibly be a descendant of the man from Thorndike and Hanley. Given how family connections work in the Dark Shadows mythos, this is actually quite likely.
  • Reference is made to Reverend Stone in this episode, but the character does not make an appearance. Reverend Stone is scheduled to give the eulogy at Roxanne Drew's funeral.
  • References is made to New York in this episode. It is unclear if the allusion refers to the state or just the city. Randall Drew was away from Collinsport for several years practicing law.
