  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Assuming that everything from Carrie's visions is her imagination, when she visits Heaven and meets the family's deceased dog Jack, there's no mention of her baby brother Charles. Does this mean she forgot about her brother, or did her mind block her from imagining him because remembering became too painful?
  • Bizarro Episode: A 90-minute episode with much of its part focusing on Carrie's imaginary adventures, including an identical friend, a gardener with giant fruits and insects, a visit to Heaven where a giant St. Matthew receives them projected in the sky!!! And St. Peter is there too!!
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Some viewers will check on this episode just to see the Greenbush twins share the same space for once. And for the bizarre sequences with them!!
  • Tear Jerker: The part where Carrie goes to Heaven and sees the Ingalls' late dog Jack is both heartwarming and very sad because she hugs and tells him how much everyone misses him and that she loves him. Given some other experiences that Laura and Charles had it's possible that it wasn't just a dream.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The sequence where Carrie is in Heaven and meets Jack could have her meet her baby brother Charles Jr, making the scene more meaningful and exploring a child's view of death and loss.
