Didja Notice?

 

At about 12:00 in the episode, Jennifer is heard singing a parody version of the song "We Three Kings". The original song is a Christmas carol written by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857. She then sings another parody of the Christmas song "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks".

 

In this episode, Josh (manipulated by Time), is able to use Sapphire's power to turn back time while she is holding the "possessed" music box. Josh turns time back by several years even though Sapphire can normally only turn back time less than 24 hours. Did her power increase since the events of the TV series? Or was Time able to enhance her power for this task?

 

The prayer James utters at about 15:41 in the episode is a Christian children's prayer of thanks: "Thank you for the world so sweet, Thank you for the food we eat. Thank you for the birds that sing, Thank you God for everything."

 

The theme music at the end of the episode gets abruptly cut off with a quick burst of static, a nod to Josh's ability to muck with the television and other electrical devices.
