Notes

1 This is the second "Carol-centric" episode of the series, following "No More Mr. Nice Guy" (4.13). Because of her prominent role in this episode, Kathleen Lloyd is billed as a 'Special Guest Star'.

2 This episode opens with a dark, disturbing domestic violence scene where a little girl views the violent death of her mother while hiding in a closet.

3 Barbara Rush (Ann Carrington) will later appear in "The Aunt Who Came to Dinner" (7.20) as Magnum's Aunt Phoebe.

4 The red Jaguar that Magnum drives around in is the E-Type Series 1 Roadster model (1961-1968).

5 For the first time in 91 syndicated episodes, Magnum and T.C. wear their "Da Nang" caps at the same time. (Noted by Mike Barnes)

6 Carol drives a green VW Golf Cabriolet, license plate # "BXD 131". When she's upset, she drives recklessly, including barreling through red lights!

7 Ms. Jones the "Hall of Records" clerk makes another appearance. And again, her boyfriend breaks up with her over the phone in the presence of a patient Magnum (and Carol).

Quotes

1
Higgins: This morning I came to a startling and horrifying realization. Since your arrival at Robin's Nest, you have insidiously eroded away my sense of diligence. Security has fallen completely apart. The grounds are in a terrible state of negelect. This guesthouse should be condemned!
Magnum: It doesn't look so bad.
Higgins: The estate is completely overrun with your good-for-nothing friends, sleazy clients and unexpected guests.
Magnum: That is not true!
(Carol enters the guesthouse)
Carol: Hi, Thomas! The gate was open, so I just came on in.
(Magnum hangs head)

2
Higgins: We are going back to a strict regimen around here. A military regimen! Good day!
