After doing the rehearsal for Sunday, Tom takes off his jacket. He is wearing a blue shirt and suspenders. Two seconds later he is wearing a blue shirt with no suspenders.
Lucy: Did you know Buddhists believe suffering is inherited in life? Matt: Then I must be a Buddhist.
Matt: Mary has something she'd like to tell you. Mary: I snuck out of the house and went to a fraternity party with Camille. Eric: How many ways can you go wrong in one sentence? And who's Camille? Mary: She's a girl I met in detention. Eric: Oh. That's a great place to mingle and form life-lasting friendships.
Lucy: Actually, I just wanted to look at a book on Buddhism. Eric: Oh, are you doing a paper for school? Lucy: Not exactly. I was talking to Tom about my Confirmation classes, and he encouraged me to explore all my religious options. Eric: Like Buddhism? Lucy: For starters. Eric: Why Buddhism? Lucy: I don't know. Richard Gere likes it.
Mary: What's this? Camille: It's that dress you tried on at the mall. Mary: It still has the security tag on it. Camille: Well, you didn't think I was gonna buy it for you, did you? Here. (takes dress, rips off security tag) There. Now it'll have a slit up the leg, which is perfect since you have great legs. Put it on. You'll look hot.
Annie: If Lucy's exploration is bothering you, you should say something. Eric: I don't want her to choose my church just because it's my church. Annie: If you really mean that, then that's very liberal of you.
Lucy: (about the ferrets) Those mice are majorly mutated! Simon: They are not mice, they are ferrets and they are not mutated, they are cute. Ruthie: Want to buy a couple and help us go to college?
Matt: You gotta trust me on this, cause when it comes to this kind of stuff, guys don't think like girls. Mary: I know I'm sorry. Matt: Where'd you get that dress? Mary: (Crying) Camille stole it from me. I didn't know she did it okay? She gave it to me in the car. Matt: So you put it on and went to a fraternity party? Mary: I know, it was stupid. I'm sorry. Matt: It's okay. But you should know, from now on I'll be watching you like a fox.
Simon: Fifty Dollars is a lot of money Ruthie. Ruthie: How much is it again? Simon: Fifty dollars is... five THOUSAND pennies! Ruthie: Wow we're rich!
(Simon and Ruthie find a $50.00 bill on the sidewalk) Ruthie: Maybe we should give it back. Simon: To who? The sidewalk?
Ruthie: How about a little tiny goldfish? They won't be no trouble. Annie: Any. Ruthie: Any what? Annie: A goldfish won't be any trouble. Ruthie: I know. So can I have one?
Annie: You want adventure? You can clean out your closet, and unlike your father, I don't care if you knew what you did was wrong because I am here to tell you that it wasn't! School, church and back for the next thirty days! No TV! No phone! No nothing! And you will be a model prisoner or you'll get another thirty days.
Eric: What's going on Tom? We've worked for two years and I don't feel like I ever known you. What are you really doing here in Glenoak? Tom: I'm thinking of leaving the church, before I'm asked to leave. Eric: Why would you be asked to leave? Tom: I frightened the congregation and completely humiliated myself last Sunday during the sermon. Eric: By...? Tom: I had a seizure. I have epilepsy.
Catherine Hicks and Robin Curtis both previously appeared in the 1986 film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, although they didn't have any scenes together.
This is the first episode written by Sue Tenney. Later on, Sue Tenney becomes head co-writer of the show with Brenda Hampton. Previously, they both wrote episodes on the NBC hit, "Blossom".
Before "7th Heaven", Stephen Collins (Eric Camden) had already co-starred with Keri Russell in the television-movie, The Babysitter's Seduction.
Guest star Keri Russell was featured on a very short-lived CBS comedy called Daddy's Girls, which was also created by Brenda Hampton.
Eric: Why Buddhism? Lucy: I don't know. Richard Gere likes it. Richard Gere is a well-known American actor who is considered one of the most talented of his generation. Even as he got older, he was still considered physically attractive by younger women.
