Notes

Trivia
  • This two-part episode marks Cody's final appearance on the program. Interestingly, in the opening scene Cody and Whit mention Cody's experience with bullies Stewart and Doug in Cody's first episode, #375: “The Pushover”.
Goofs
  • Whit describes the Goths in this episode as "Christians in their own way." They were, in fact, not true Christians at all, but Gnostics.

Reviews

Quotes

Telemachus: I was reading the gospels one day and came to the place where Jesus said, "Sell what you have, take up your cross and come — follow me." I wanted that. I wanted with all my heart to follow Jesus.
