    • Trivia
      This episode is loosely based on Greek mythology, namely the Persephone and Hades myth. This can be seen in character similarities, and in the situation and plot. The episode was written in the fashion of a Greek tragedy play, using similar devices, and intentional over-dramatization of the acting.
