This was one of Leah Remini's earliest screen credits, and first of her two appearances as Carla's daughter Serafina. Her second appearance was initially aired on 4 February 1993.
This was the first episode to feature more than one of Carla's children at one time in speaking roles. (One early episode included a cutaway of a few seconds of her kids attacking an adult.)
In the opening scene, Carla, Woody and Rebecca are all wearing the same clothes they had on in the previous episode.
While not seen in the episode, Carla's son Anthony, seen earlier on the series and The Tortellis spin off, was mentioned. However, while Anthony's absence was noted, there was no reference to his wife Annie, also seen earlier on the show, or the child the couple was expecting during their final appearance.
Sam calls Rebecca Rachel.
