Notes

Trivia

• This episode was originally titled "Fall from Grace" but was changed shortly before airing out of concern that some listeners might take issue with the theological implications.
• This episode is the only one in the Straussberg Separation saga to feature Mandy's father but not her mother. The inverse was true in #603: “The Family Next Door”.
• Mandy's advice to her father on his aim at the miniature golf course is likely very well-informed, considering that she previously beat Alex Jefferson's course record in #471: “Fifteen Minutes”.

Allusions

• This episode references both the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bulls.

Audio

• Listen carefully: the arcade games at the miniature golf course share the same sound effects as those heard at Blackgaard's Castle in #83: “The Battle, Part 1” and at Genie's Video Arcade in #181: “It Takes Integrity”.
• Directly before the scene with the Imagination Station, Whit whistles "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys.

Goofs

• In this episode Whit announces he's going to scan some new adventures into the Imagination Station involving Thomas Edison. However, in #573: “Back to Abnormal”, Whit explains to Eugene that the Imagination Station now automatically scans for new programs and no longer needs them to be manually imported.
