First appearance of Christoph Sanders as the new Ned.
When Justin Yates talks to Melinda in this episode (Slam) he refers to his pet *hamster.* Three episodes later (in The Gravesitter) people repeatedly refer to Justin's pet as a hamster, and he corrects them saying, "it's a gerbal." (The caged rodent in Justin's room is, in fact, a hamster.)
GW copies an old soap opera trick, where on a Friday the character is a child and the next Monday is suddenly a young adult, all to open up more story lines. Apparently here the writers forgot all that, as Ned is completely absent from 20 of the final 49 programs of the series.
