This program was recorded out of broadcast sequence. It was taped after 228.
In the startling closing moments, in which all doubt is removed concerning Barnabas indeed being a vampire, actor Jonathan Frid inadvertently inserted his fangs upside down. Whether this undermined or enhanced the effect of the scene is a controversy still debated by fans.
This program is double numbered 225/226. There is no standalone episode 226. The double numbering also corrected the out-of-sync numbering plaguing the series since episode 206 was shifted back a day. This tweak kept the production numbers balanced with the calendar, allowing Friday episodes to end in a 5 or 0.
