Original Air Date: November 13, 1996
The Ancient reveals that he has a daughter, but prudently decides not to hand out cigars.
Almost interesting facts: Mimi Kuzyk (Margaret and Danielle) played Judge Reynolds in the second season episode, "The Innocent." Vieslav Krystyan (Dekker) was
Vlad the Impaler in the third season epic, "Brotherhood of the Bell."
Continuity error: In the graveyard, The Ancient tries to light three sticks of incense but the wind is so high that the third one goes out and he can't get it re-lit. However,
later on there is a close-up of Margaret's memorial stone, and all three incense sticks are blazing merrily away.
Scenes we'd like to see (or maybe not...): An early version of the script has Lo Si and Margaret necking passionately behind some potted plants instead of just cheek kissing and nose rubbing.
Can't get NOTHIN' right on this show: Someone should tell the makeup people that long, dark hair tends to emphasize wrinkled skin! Kim Chan actually looks younger when made up as Ping Hai than he does in this episode during the scenes that were supposed to have taken
place 40 years earlier!!
'Round,'round get around, I get around: There's an extra in this episode who pops up quite frequently. He is in the restaurant where Pita take Danielle for coffee, he's in the restaurant where Caine and The Ancient go to warm up after the fight in the graveyard, and
at the very end, he's among the people at the vigil. He wouldn't be so noticeable if he weren't always wearing the same sweater <G>
Quote to remember: Life is like a box of chocolates
Sometimes truth
is like a windowshade being raised in a dark room: the light must enter slowly or it will be blinding.
