Behind the scenes

  • The episode's title is like a pun on "quasi evil". 'Nuff said.
  • The three-headed monster which appears in the beginning of this episode resembles the Hydra.
  • This is one of the few episodes where the girls turn against each other, along with "A Very Special Blossom" and "Simian Says".

Errors

Everlasting influence

  • In "Members Only," the Professor indirectly refers to this event as one of the many times the girls have matched wits with Him.
