Sue Ann, Cindy, and Nancy make their first appearance since Dope.
According to the synopsis, this episode contradicts the season eight episode The Little Chill. However, in that episode, Sue Ann, Cindy, and Nancy come back to Peekskill and reunite with the girls. In that episode, it seems as if they are meeting Jo for the first time. However, this episode readily establishes that Jo knows Cindy, Sue Ann, and Nancy and that they are all schoolmates and, at the very least, acquaintances, if not friends.
Actor Kenneth Mars makes his only appearance as Eastland's new headmaster Mr. Harris. However, Mr. Parker (Roger Perry) replaces headmaster Mr. Harris in Season 3.
