Trivia[]
- Both Flynn (at the beginning) and Eve (in the woods at the end) miss attempted kisses, perhaps reflecting their out of sync condition.
- Flynn observes, "Unless I miss my guess, and I never miss my guess," echoing the villainous Prince Humperdinck of "The Princess Bride," who declared, "Unless I am wrong, and I am never wrong" whilst hunting Westley after the latter's duel with Inigo Montoya.
- Although the synopsis (quoted from a press release) states that Prospero was going to retrieve the parts of his Staff from a museum, that is not what occurred in this episode. Instead, Prospero managed to secretly enter the Library in order to try to find the Tree of Knowledge that was at its heart because he wanted to use a branch from that tree to create a new staff for himself.
