Trivia

The Show

  • This episode is often referred to as "She's Alive II", but there's nothing about the origin of this supposed alternate title.
  • While episode opens with the standard clip from The Bride of Frankenstein, it continues the motif of old clips from various Frankenstein films by eschewing the standard title sequence. The credits also have a different colour and font.

Behind the Scenes

Allusions and References

  • Gary saying that if they can recreate Lisa, maybe she'll shower with them is likely allusion to a scene from the film in which Gary and Wyatt join her in the shower (even though the two still wear their clothes).
