Allusions

  • This episode does not contain any allusions.

Bloopers and Continuity Errors

  • When Bill meets Caroline Bellefleur for the first time you can see a puncture on Stephen Moyer's left ear. This could be a result of having an ear piercing. This would not be possible for a vampire due to accelerated healing unless the piercing occurred before his transformation, unlikely for a Civil War soldier.
  • Caroline Bellefleur is portrayed to know all the Bellefleur's family tree, but strangely she never mentioned the Compton ascendants to her grandchildren before she met Bill, or apparently that was just a fact everyone forgot.
