Interesting Trivia

• This episode was slated to be the final episode of the show after CBS pulled its funding for the second time. Watch the credits for some outtakes from the show. CBS never broadcast this episode, and it took almost two and a half years before it was officially shown in the United States on the TNT network.
• This episode is known as a 'clip' episode since it is made up of a lot of scenes from previous episodes.
• The license plate on the kidnapper's van, the one Fraser saw right before he lost his memory, just happens to be the infamous RCW 139 plate.
• Sarain Boylan (Rhonda) originally ran across the boys in the Season 1 episode "The Man Who Knew Too Little." She bumps into them again in this episode, but of course Fraser doesn't recognize her.
• Ho Chow (Doctor) of "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues" fame shows up in this episode as Fraser's doctor. He also appeared as Jimmy in the Season 1 episode "Chinatown."
