Story notes

 * Andrea Thomas celebrates her birthday in this episode. Rick Mason and Cindy Lee bring a cake to her classroom.


 * Cindy Lee is once again decked out in her traditional blue overalls. She seems to seldom do laundry.


 * Andrea Thomas once again removes her eye glasses in front of Rick Mason and Cindy Lee, which should expose her secret identity as Isis, but Rick and Cindy are clearly clueless. Andrea does this often, so she seems comfortable in the notion that Rick and Cindy will never guess her secret.
