In the opening classroom scene, the teacher mentions the English poet William Wordsworth. The title of this episode comes from Wordsworth's poem "She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways". Its relevance to the plot can be seen from the opening lines: "She dwelt among the untrodden ways / Beside the springs of Dove / A Maid whom there were none to praise / And very few to love." It can also be seen at the end of the episode.
