This episode echoes Anne of Green Gables (1972) when Marilla goes away for the day leaving Anne alone to make tea for her best friend Diana, but everything goes wrong. Anne accidentally gives Diana Red Current Wine instead of Raspberry Cordial, while Felicity uses sawdust instead of cornmeal in her pudding.
Valentina Cardinality (Jane Spry) is credited erroneously.
Janet mentions that her Great Aunt Eliza is hard of hearing yet when Eliza is actually shown in later episodes she has no trouble hearing.
