Trivia
About 40 minutes into the episode the Macpherson sisters are listening to Mozart's Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, K. 581. This piece is best known to many American viewers as the piece Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester, III was trying to teach the North Korean musicians in the final episode of M*A*S*H.

Goofs
Despite the common belief that African elephants are untrainable, zookeepers state that they are more intelligent than Indian elephants and, certainly trainable, as Hannible's ride over the Alps demonstrated.

Quotes
Mallory Edmonton: When somebody dies, somebody the birds had respect for, it's important to tell them.
Naomi Sinclair: I think they probably know now.
Mallory Edmonton: Death matters to them like life.

Goof

The brochure Joyce shows Tom at the end shows a trek on the backs of elephants, supposedly in Botswana. However African elephants CANNOT be trained to allow riders. Only Asian elephants and there are none in Botswana.

Very good episode otherwise, although slightly confusing.
