Nothing falls over Danse in this episode. Although two men fall for her. But Danse doesn't believe in whirlwind romances.

It seems that whenever Danse is with Jem and the Holograms, she gets all the attention instead of any of the Holograms. She must be considered more beautiful or talented.

Shana used to go to summercamp.

Jem and the Holograms are bad at archery, except for Raya. Jem is great at swordmanship though.

This episode is a "Robin Hood"-like story, Robin Hood is even mentioned by Danse. It also has bits from the "Man in the Iron Mask".

Other notes:
In the attic of Starlight Mansion there's a box of Jacqui's things. Among other things several sheets of music notes. The song "First Love" was written by Jacqui Benton in the 70's. Jacqui Benton wrote hundreds of songs and had her own band, they performed out of town every so often. Some of Jacqui's Benton's songs are "First Love", "My Heart", "Oh. Jo", "Jerrica's" and "Starlight". The official lyrics to Starlight are: Starlight is the messege (Blooper: mispelled) that I send from beyond, starlight is for always even when I am gone!, starlight to shimmer on and on, starlight won't desert you starlight always there, starlight i...

Jacqui never got the chance to cut her last album.

Jacqui had a necklace with a star very similar to the star earrings.

Jacqui was a foster girl and was moved from place to place without having a home to call her own, never able to share the love of a real family.

Jacqui saw the Starlight Foundation as a chance to help homeless girls feel loved.

Aja doesn't call Jacqui mother, she refers to Jacqui as their (Jerrica and Kimber's) mother and Emmett as Jerrica's and Kimber's father. Emmett referred to the foster girls as "Jacqui's foster girls".

Rio's family lived right next door to Starlight House, they moved there after the Benton family, and Rio was only a young boy at the time.

Jerrica was interested in Rio already when she was ten years old and Rio had just moved into the neigbourhood.

Emmett thought Rio had a very keen mind and was a natural technician. Rio helped Emmett alot when he was younger, and showed alot of interest for audio equipment.

Aja became the very first foster girl of Starlight House when she was only 11 years old, same age as Jerrica. Aja got her own room in Starlight House. Second foster girl was Shana and third was Lela.

Aja got along better with Rio when they were younger, as Aja was a bit of a tomboy and Jerrica wasn't.

Shana was a very shy when she first arrived at Starlight House.

Kimber, Shana, Aja and Rio all had the same haircolor as kids as they do today.

Jerrica and Rio went to the same school.

Rio was Jerrica's first love. Jerrica and Rio's first kiss was at a drive-in theather watching a western film.

Starlight Music was when first started by Emmett and Jacqui, first located in a another, smaller, building.

Eric stole some things from Starlight Music when he was fired, like Jacqui Benton's master tape recordings.

One of the first holograms that Emmett projects is a small hologram of a transformer robot.

Just like in "KJEM", there's a female character that resembles very much one of the characters working on Jem's movie in the Starbright three parter episodes, except this one is a light blonde instead of blonde. But she does have the same hairstyle, hairband, earrings and clothes, also in other colors. She appears right after Emmett says "May 10".

After Emmett says "May 10", he drops a briefcase with papers that are written on, and we get to see some of them fly by and can read some of the text.

Rio went to engineering school.

According to Synergy, she is Synergy and nothing more and nothing less. Not Jacqui. She is Emmett's gift of love.

Once again Synergy is being taken apart.

July 1: Synergy is near completion. Emmett records her with Jacqui's recordings and likeness. But he couldn't bear to make her too much like Jacqui.
