Episode Notes

Paul Linke (Lionel) would later play Sheriff Ben Masters in "The Boogieman - October 31, 1964".

Willie Garson (Seymour) would later play Lee Harvey Oswald in "Lee Harvey Oswald Part I - October 5, 1957-November 22, 1963" and "Lee Harvey Oswald Part II - October 5, 1957-November 22, 1963".

Chronologically, this is the earliest leap within Sam's lifetime. He was born on August 8, 1953, four months after the events of this episode.

Episode Quotes

Al: Sam...you know, Allison could be the killer.
Sam: No.
Al: No? Why are you saying no? (reading) Because her body could part the red army?
Sam: No. Because we've got Clapper.
Al: Careful, Sam. There was no cure for that in 1953.
