This is the third time that this episode script by series creators Michael Berk and Douglas Schwartz was reused. The original script was used in the 1983 TV series Manimal (1983), in the episode Female of the Species (1983); it was later re-used again in the 1986 TV series The Wizard (1986), in the episode Endangered Species (1986). In each episode, the hero helps a girl or boy who was raised by wolves. At the end of the episode, the wolf girl/boy is rescued by the hero after being locked in a trunk and thrown into the ocean by the person who killed his/her parents. In each case, the script was rewritten, but some scenes from the original "Manimal" script were used word for word in the other two episodes.
