Commercial breaks: an unconscious Jim (ll) Ben Victor (lr), Brother Simon (ur), Jim and a green-colored Artie (ul) (edit) This was the first episode produced after the death of series creator Michael Garrison. (edit) Beginning with this episode, the commercial break art changes from the sepia photos to painted line drawings. This change lasts until the end of the series. (edit)

Ben Victor: You’re James West, of course.
Jim: I didn’t know it showed. (edit) Ben Victor: Well, Mr. West, got any answers?
Jim: No, but I have some questions. (edit) (an embarrassed Artemus is green, literally, after the affair of the pie plate)
West: Think of the good side. You'll be a sensation at all the dinner parties. (edit)

Simon locks Jim and Artie up in the spaceship and says it'll blow up in 20 minutes. A few minutes of monologuing later, he leaves and Artie says they have 17 minutes left. Jim then cuts them free, they go outside and have a two-minute fight, and the "flying pie plate" explodes... apparently about 14 minutes early for no reason. (edit) Disguises: Dirk DuJohn, precious gem appraiser (edit) Gadgets: Stirrup with concealed knife, boot tip knife (edit) As explained later, Brother Simon is pulled back by an invisible wire. However, when it actually occurs early in the episode, the wire isn't invisible. (edit)
