Footage of Roberta Shore and Randy Boone singing "Wait for the Wagon" at the dance which appears in this episode was used in the opening credits for all episodes in Season 3 as was Betsy riding on horseback in one sequence. The dance footage with them singing (and also showing Trampas present) was also reused in a dance sequence in a later Season 3 episode: Timberland.
