- TriviaThis episode has an all-male cast.
- GoofsThe white powder used to represent snow does not melt. In the car, it remains on the actors' clothing with no sign of wetness. When they enter the monastery, there is less powder, but it still remains, appearing dry. Even though the father observes that their coats are wet, there is no sign of wetness and they appear totally dry.

Himself - Host: Good evening and thank you for allowing me to come into your living rooms. Well, I'm not easily shocked, but I did expect people to dress a bit more formally before sitting in front of their sets. Now that two-way television is here.
[sounds of a lion roaring and a woman screaming]
Himself - Host: Apparently, not everyone was aware of the incessant march of progress. The next improvement should be more to your liking. I understand that scientists will soon make it possible for any object thrown at the television screen to actually hit the performer. All of which reminds me of a story.

Written by Charles Gounod
It's not a very riveting entry. Only a little suspense builds as we wonder what the lad will do. But the casting of an innocent-looking Damon pretty much telegraphs the outcome. Still, the ending is subtly ironic if you think about it. Note too, that Brother Jared's appeal to Clements is made on humanitarian grounds, not explicitly religious as might be expected. That way the episode avoids sectarian entanglements with its audience. And I agree with the reviewer who observes that these early episodes appear very cheaply produced. My guess is the money went into casting as it does here with movie vet Sloane. Fortunately, story and acting were uppermost in this superior dramatic series.
