Behind the scenes

• Mrs. Ashworth and her biddies last caused trouble for the Cavanuaghs in "Once and Future Queen."
• Wildfire last met the Senti in "Secret of Sinti Magic."
• The Spectres were revealed to have transformed the goons into their current state in "A Meeting in Time."
• John is revealed to be Prince Cavan after it was implied in "A Meeting in Time."
• Prince Cavan was the one who locked the Spectres away the first time.

Errors

• It's unclear what Mrs. Ashworth has against John, but it's enough to push Sara in the care of someone who is actually so incredibly obviously evil like Mr. Spec.
