This episode shows Jo in the same class as both SueAnn and Cindy. Jo interacts with both girls and it can be assumed that at the very least she is aquatinted with the two, if not outright friends with them. With Eastland being a small school it would be hard for the three girls not to reasonably get to know each other. This episode contradicts season eight's episode "The Little Chill" were it's revealed that SueAnn, Cindy and Nancy never knew Jo.
Actresses Julie Anne Haddock, who plays Cindy, and Julie Piekarski, who plays Sue Ann, reappears after leaving after the first season but still makes recurring appearances in Season 2.
First appearance of Loren Lester as 'Roy.'
