At this point in the series, Telma Hopkins had been deleted from the opening credits. If her character made an occasional appearance, she was reduced to "guest star" status, at the end of the episode. Rachel doesn't appear in this episode, but Carl states that Rachel lives in his house. Curious, since Rachel was rarely being seen or even mentioned.
Eddie and Steve confirmed they still work at Mighty Weenie, but they haven't been seen working there since the season 5 episode "That's What Friends Are For".
