Trivia[]

- When Drake explains to Andy the rules of their dare that the first person to miss a basket loses, he describes it as "the law of the jungle". This foreshadows Mizuo's territorial behavior, which Miss Jones described as "the law of the jungle" similar to the Amazonian wolves.

- This is the first episode to feature a ghost with water-based powers. The next episode would be "Bubble-Brush".
