This episode has a lot in common with a previous episode, Paras and Parasect (1998), in the sense that both revolved around a woman who needed help evolving a Bug-type Pokémon, so Ash had his Pokémon lose a battle against her on purpose. Unlike before, however, none of his Pokémon refuse to do so out of disobedience.
Cheryl catches a Burmy, which later evolves into Mothim.
The English dub title is a pun on the song "Some Enchanted Evening" from the musical South Pacific.
Ash, Dawn, and Brock meet Cheryl, who joins the group.
