When Jaime asks if the young girl is going to be in her class, Oscar replies no, she is too young. In real life, the girl who plays Kim, Mariel Aragon, is 11 years old in this episode. In real life she had just started college as part of the Johns Hopkins University program for 11 to 15 year-old gifted children. She transfers to University of Southern California and goes on to graduate college at the age of 16 as part of the class of 1982.
Even though Martin E. Brooks has "credit only" in this episode, he does actually have an appearance having a phone call with Jaime.
The young girl playing Vietnamese was actually mixed of Mexican origins.
When the army guy (father of the Vietnamese girl) is talking to Jaimie at the campfire, her hair changes from being loose to being tied up in a pony tail, between the close-ups of Jaimie and the long shots picturing them both from the side.
