Trivia[]
- Despite being listed as Episode 21 (which aired on March 11, 2001), this is actually Episode 15.
- This is the only episode which doesn't feature background scenery as the closing curtains. Instead, this part is replaced by Audrey leaving the tall grass. The grass is animated, which substitutes the curtains that open and close from the left and right side of the screen, making it the only time non-standard closing curtains have been used in the series.
