Notes/trivia
- This is the first episode not to feature Red Herring in the flesh; Daphne points this out to Freddie while breaking the fourth wall, no less.
- This is the first episode not to have a chase song, and it's also the only non-season 3 episode not to have one.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- None known.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- One of the kids in the background strongly resembles Shaggy.
- The rings Prestina wears are used to connect her to her two human disguises, Pop O'Conner and the Great Mel, since they also wore them. Why would she wear her rings while in disguise, since they served no purpose other than acting as hints to her true identity?
- There is no explanation for how the ghost of Al Cabone can fly.
