*[[Alex]] and [[Maria Pappas|Maria]]'s names were revealed to be the two unnamed rabbit characters that have been in Mr. Ratburn's class since the first episode of the show, [[Arthur's Eyes]]. This makes Mr. Ratburn's class the only class so far in the show with all the characters named. However, Alex's name was revealed much sooner than this episode. That took place during the episode, [[The Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club!]] where he signed a petition. | *[[Alex]] and [[Maria Pappas|Maria]]'s names were revealed to be the two unnamed rabbit characters that have been in Mr. Ratburn's class since the first episode of the show, [[Arthur's Eyes]].

*The main plot of this episode is based on William Shakespeare's play ''Macbeth''. In fact, even the title is a reference to the play.

*[[Marina Datillo]] is briefly seen at one of the tables in the school eating area, however in a later scene [[Maria Pappas|Maria]] is seen sitting in the same place. It was very likely supposed to have been Maria all along, as Marina does not attend [[Lakewood Elementary School|Lakewood Elementary]] and their names are easy to confuse. | *[[Marina Datillo]] is briefly seen at one of the tables in the school eating area, however in a later scene [[Maria Pappas|Maria]] is seen sitting in the same place.
