Trivia

• Timeline:
  • When D.W. is cooling herself in front of the air conditioner, Arthur brings a glass of lemonade to her which contains two ice cubes. D.W. asks if there are still some ice cubes left in the freezer, and says, "Things have a way of disappearing in that freezer." This may be a reference to the disappearance of D.W.'s snowball back in the Season 1 episode "D.W.'s Snow Mystery."
  • This episode is a sequel to "The Blizzard."
