- TriviaThis may be first time that Ben never got to see what his host looked like.
- GoofsMuch is made of there being "spotty records" for this time period. While the team may not have uploaded records that old into Ziggy, ample records for late 17th century Massachusetts exist, which allow historians to reconstruct many aspects of the lives of those involved in the witch trials.

Featured review
Hire the right actors
The episode as a whole is just a riff on the crucible and the salem witch trials in general. It's forgettable.
Problem is the "Irish" character. First I want to say I don't blame the actor.
I'm Irish, and I'm sick of the constant portrayal of Irish people by non Irish actors (and no, Irish-American people aren't Irish, they're of Irish descent. They know nothing of the culture or accent of the island). No, literally no one, has this accent except on North American TV and film sets. I've worked as an accent coach and it's so hard to get people to not sound like this, because they've been convinced that what's Irish people sound like. And it isn't. If the characters ethnitiy/nationality is important, cast an actor that is that. Otherwise don't make an actor who can't do an accent do an awful one, just change the character to fit the casting.
