- Weak Points and Mistakes:
[?]
- --
[?]
- Part of Clarissa's ``theory of relativity'' is
to put ``large, heavy-density items'' in front of the door.
She actually tries this in
``The Return of Mafalda'' (#118),
but it doesn't keep Aunt Mafalda out of her room.
(See also
DYN: Recurring phrases,
for other appearances of the Theory of Relativity in CEIA.)
- Clarissa and Ferguson cooperate to try to get rid of Aunt Mafalda
in this episode.
See
DYN: Various lists
for other instances of Clarissa and Ferguson cooperating.
- At the beginning of the seance scene, when Heather Mac Rae (Aunt Mafalda)
is pulling out her chair to sit down,
she accidentally looks into the camera.
At the end of the episode, of course, she intentionally
looks into the camera as she says, ``I'll be back.''
(See
DYN: Various lists
for other instances of characters other than Clarissa
speaking directly to the camera.)
Her return in
``The Return of Mafalda'' (#118)
makes good on this promise.
