Errors

  • This episode tries to shed light on why Benjy transforms into the Thing, but only confuses the issue further. It seems to either suggest that Professor Harkness created the rings so that the Thing could transform back into human form, although they could only transform him back into a teenager, or that the Thing has always been his natural form, and that he's for some reason transforming himself into a teenage boy.
  • When Sandy first appears, she has brown fur then at the end of the episode, she has beige fur.
