This episode was actually the pilot but was instead aired as the 10th episode.
Rudy the Manager (Bing Russell) and his daughter Jill (Jill Van Ness) were supposed to be recurring characters on the show, before disastrous ratings of this pilot led to most of their scenes being cut.
When Davy Jones imagines himself to be handcuffed to Vanessa, the tail end of the original demo version of "I Wanna Be Free" sung by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart can be heard.
Elements from the "I Wanna Be Free" romp, including Davy hitting his head on the strongman bell and Mike riding the motorized skateboard, were included in the opening credits of the first season.
