    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Ellen asks Paige sarcastically if she "brought enough luggage" to camp, when she sees her pull two suitcases. Paige straight answers that she has "another bag in the car". This gag was copied by Cybill: when Maryanne moves in with Cybill for the weekend, Cybill asks her the same as Ellen and---without fail---Maryanne deadpan replies with Paige's quip.
    • Goofs
      Paige is holding a pair of sand colored hiking boots up to her chest. She complains that "the catalog said this was thistle, it is obviously slate". It is unclear if she means the beige boots or the mauve blouse she is wearing but slate is a color that is part gray and part blue, so that one can't tell exactly which color it is. Either way, her mauve shirt is in the pink family, and her boots in the pale brown (beige) family, which could actually be construed as "thistle", but neither is slate.

      Little Paige: Why would Megan O'Connell do this to me? Why would she put gum in my hair.

      Little Ellen: Paige, I need to tell you something. I...

      [little Ellen hesitates as little Paige looks at her]

      Little Paige: Yes?

      Little Ellen: Uh... that was really mean for her to put gum in your hair. But it could have been a lot worse, she could have put... uh... hair in your gum. And when you're chewing it and... you feeling something hanging in the back of your throat like a hairball or something and then you'd cough like this...

      [little Ellen coughs like a gagging sound]
