Storyline

- TriviaScenes from the unaired pilot episode are used in the flashback sequences.
- GoofsAbout ten minutes into the program, Patty can be seen entering a hall closet, with Cathy distant left in the shot, picking up folded sheets from a chair. As Patty enters the closet, SHE suddenly starts moving in slow motion for a couple of seconds, and Cathy continues the scene in normal motion. Then Patty continues in regular motion, just as before. Since shots from the original pilot were spliced in to this particular program, it was probably discovered in the editing room that the two shots didn't come out perfectly, at least at first, so the Patty side of the shot had to be slowed down a bit if they wanted the scene to cohere properly. Seconds later, we see Cathy walking toward the camera (Patty is now out of view in the closet), and just before Cathy closes the closet door, the door changes position slightly all by itself. Then just before Patty emerges from the closet, the door changes position again. At the same time, the chair the sheets were on disappears, and the sheets Cathy carried away re-appear on the chair that was next to the original one.

Featured review
The abridged pilot
Patty and Cathy reminisce about when Cathy came to live at the Lane home. This leads to edited flashbacks in essentially an abridged version of the unaired pilot. I'm sure this was a well-received, exciting episode for fans when the episode first aired, having never seen the pilot. I found it a "clip show" of sorts, having already seen the comical pilot. The short, new material bookending the flashbacks were weak, in my opinion.
