In spite of its title, there are absolutely no references to scorpions in this episode, nor does it take place at night.
JC transforms as a panther (twice, but only once on-camera) and a parrot (transformation completed off-screen).
Glenn Corbett and Doug McClure died 2 years apart, both at the age of 59 and both of lung cancer.
JC keeps a camel inside the glass partition, downstairs in his apartment.
The same depot as in the pilot with the wooden crates seems to be used for the setting in the Bahamas, when black panther J.C. jumps the man. That shot is reused from the pilot, as well as some of the panther jumping over the wooden crates.
