Although Niles inherits the lakeside cabin, it never appears again in the series.
This episode, just like "The Ski Lodge" in Season 5, takes a page from other merry-mix-up farces like "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "Noises Off", where the whole cast becomes misguided, misrepresented, and running on and off the set throughout the show.
One of the title cards reads "Ducks and Chicks and Geese Needn't Worry" This is a reference to a song from the musical, "Oklahoma".
