This is the first of only eight episodes of Knots Landing (1979) in which neither Gary Ewing (Ted Shackelford) nor Valene Ewing (Joan Van Ark) appear, the others being Down Came the Rain and Washed the Spider Out: Part 2 (1989), My First Born (1990), House of Cards (1991), The Price (1992), A Death in the Family (1993), Call Waiting (1993) and My Kingdom for a Horse (1993). As such, these are the only episodes of the series not to feature any character who appeared in its parent series Dallas (1978).
