We see in this episode the Huntsman has a unique staff. (edit) This episode was nominated in the Annie Awards for Best Storyboarding in an Animated Television Production. (edit) This was the eighth episode of season two to air in the UK, on 11th January, 2007. (edit) In The Academy The Oracle Twins tell about the Huntsclan being surround by skulls. And here it shows the Huntsclan having some kind of skulls. (edit) Rose is seen fighting without her hunstgirl uniform. (edit)

Jake: (Looking at his zit at the end of his nose) Stand back Gramps, I think this thing is gonna blow!
Gramps: Do not worry young one, I am sure the blemish is just the beginning of your molting cycle. Now tell me again about the serpent you encountered.
Jake: Let's see...it had this freaky skull around it's neck and I HAVE A MOLTING CYCLE!!
Fu: Oh sure. A Dragon sheds its skin every 10 years or so, didn't anyone ever tell yah?
Jake: Uh, I think I'd remember having a discussion about my skin peeling off my body! (edit) Jake: Guys, check it out! Operation Rose is officially a-go! One study date will lead to two. And before you know it, we'll be studying from the book of love!
Spud: Ahh, the book of love. I know it well. (Turns head toward Stacey) HHEEYY THERE GIRLL!!! (Stacey shrieks and runs away) It's like I'm a rockstar!!! (edit) Number 89: Ooh, someone's about to get a wicked hard smack down from the Huntsman. And her name rhymes with...smuntshurl. (edit) (Rose aproaches Jake after he avoids her outside)
Rose: Jake, I was calling you.
Jake: Ohhhh, you were saying 'Jake?' I thought you were saying...uhhh...steak.
Rose: Why would I be saying---Look I need to talk to you about--
Jake: Now's not a good time, I need to go and find homes for...stray...pigeons (smacks himself) Stupid, stupid!
Rose: (Rose reaches to pull back the locker door) Is everything okay? (bell rings)
Jake: (speeds off hastily before Rose can see his face) Let's talk about this late, 'kay. (edit) (Rotwood is unnecacily scratching his nails on the blackboard; the entire class is wincing and covering their ears; he stops)
Rotwood: Attention hoodlums! Since Mr. Ugenstien, your science teacher, is still recovering from last week's Bunsen-burner debacle, I have the distinct pleasure of handing out your assignments.(the entire class groans) Enough with your overlapping grumblings!! You will each pair up with a partner to invent something that will impress the lederhosen off of me. (edit)

We learn that the green stuff in Jake's hair is hair gel. (edit) Between now and
Homecoming every Crystal Skull has purple eyes. In this episode and Homecoming they have different colored eyes. (edit) When Rose/Huntsgirl brings Huntsman Jake's skin, Jake's hair was on it. Why would Jake's hair come out with his skin?
Reply: It's possible that while in dragon form, Jake's hair becomes part of the spines on his back. So, when he sheds, his spines go too. (edit) The original premise for this episode involved Jake getting a pimple on the day of his school's pictures (with the "dragon molting cycle" aspect following intact), but was ultimately scrapped from the script due to its cliché nature. (edit) Apparently Dragons shed their skin every 10 years but Jake is only 13 meaning he should have shed his skin when he was 10 unless he found out he was a dragon when he was 3.

Reply: But remember, Jake got his dragon powers when he was 13 and this is his first time having Dragon Acne. (edit)

The plot of this episode is similar to the one from the Teen Titans episode "Transformation". A character going through some type of natural metamorphic cycle and being too ashamed to be seen by their friends. Only for them to revert back to normal at the end, after learning that their friends care about them, not their appearence. (edit) Lao Shi said "ei yah" in surprise. Much like Uncle from "Jackie Chan Adventures". This is fitting because both Lao Shi and Uncle are chinese. (edit) Jake having Dragon Acne is simular to how in Danny Phantom ghosts get Ecto Acne (edit)
