Both Desmond Collins and Barnabas Collins acted as lawyers on his behalf. The Quentin of the future era of 1995 was driven insane as a result of the actions of the ghost of Gerard Stiles (possessed by Judah Zachary).

- In parallel time, Melanie Collins makes reference to "papa", whose real name is Justin Collins. He appeared last in episode 1196.
- Several references are made to Gerard Stiles and his recent death in this episode. Gerard Stiles was possessed by the spirit of the warlock Judah Zachary and is the one responsible for framing Quentin Collins. He was killed by Desmond Collins in episode 1197.

- Elizabeth Collins Stoddard makes reference to Roger Collins in this episode. Roger made his final appearance in the series way back in episode 979.
