      ADD TRIVIA
      • When Paula and Ponch are at the construction site at night and Paula is about to walk to her trailer, she has her hair parted down the middle and has no bangs. But when she bids the watchman farewell at the trailer, she has bangs. The scene does not necessarily take place in real time. Maybe Paula got a comb from the watchman off-screen, and it is relatively quick and easy to convert a parted hairstyle into one with bangs under the right circumstances. (After all, Paula was probably going to live in the trailer for a while, and she might have been preparing to go to sleep.) However, the change in hairstyles might be a tip-off to the possibility that the scene was shot on different dates. Edit
      • In the scene where Paula is knocked down by one of the bad guys and hits her head, the person who actually falls (if one looks closely) has slightly shorter hair than Mary Louise Weller (who generally plays Paula) has throughout the episode. Apparently the person with the slightly shorter hair is a stunt double. Edit
