This could be the start of something big. This episode boasts the first meeting of Clayton Farlow and Miss Ellie. (Later episodes will retcon in the implication that Clayton and Ellie had a much longer history of knowing one another.)
In the scene where Miss Ellie returns, the footage of an aircraft (A blue Braniff International 727) is reused from the scene where Sue Ellen wakes up in her car in the season 4 opener No More Mister Nice Guy: Part 1 (1980).
