Trivia

 * The original title for this episode was going to be "Byron Saves the Day," although that title is still listed on Virgin TV Anytime's website.

 * This episode marks Byron's last speaking role to date.
 * This is the only episode of the spinoff Jack and the Pack where Thomas does not appear.

Goofs
