Trivia

This is the first episode for several things:
- The first episode where Miss Achmetha has a speaking role, with her new voice actress Elise Napier.
- The first episode with a newly-animated Big Idea logo.
This is the second time that there's been a VeggieTales version of the story of Ruth and Naomi, the first being in Duke and the Great Pie War, but this time the story focuses more on Ruth and Naomi's relationship, Ruth and Naomi's personal lives and has a shorter running time.

Goofs

Callie Flower is listed in the credits with Stephanie Southerland's characters, even though she didn't actually appear in the episode.
All of Jean-Claude's lines during the closing scene aren't pitch-shifted.
