Notes
- Read a devotional thought about this show.
- The characters Rosalita and Orlando are probably an allusion to the play by William Shakespeare, As You Like It, which features a couple named Rosalind and Orlando.
- Chris says "Aventuras en Odisea" instead of "Adventures in Odyssey" in the wraps of this episode.
