This episode, the one previous ("The Monster Within"), and the two following ("Three Golden Hairs" and "Faithful Johannes") split up the story of the fifth and sixth chapters of the original book, A Smile As Red As Blood (which tells Gretel's story) and The Three Golden Hairs (which tells Hansel's).
Little Red Riding Hood, alluded to by the Devil when he first meets Hansel, is one of the fairy tales not adapted in the Tale Dark and Grimm trilogy.
First appearance of a verse other than the first of the lullaby sung throughout.
