    • Trivia
      Waldo the mynah bird was voiced by Sheryl Lee, who also plays both Laura and Maddie in this series.
    • Goofs
      When Harry inspects the picture of Waldo on Laura's shoulder, he rotates it a few times, and the shot ends just as he rotates it to the left (left is up). However, in the next shot he's holding it normally (up is up) without having had time to rotate it back.

    Getting to love these characters
    The storytelling improves upon an already excellent episodes and the season is coming to an eventful heat getting closer to the season finale. The binge watching is still wonderful with this one. This classic show is still mantaining its well deserved status of golden TV.
