[edit] Trivia
This episode gives part of Sam Beckett's family line. It would seem that Sam's great uncle (John Beckett's uncle) is named John, and he apparently has a son. The older John Beckett lives in Australia in 1968. Sam claimed to be his great uncle's son while attempting to call him while he was leaped into Tim Fox.
