 While both girls wonder where Amy's mother ended up, the camera pulls close to the statue's face, revealing the mother's eyes and a muffled voice pleading for help.The episode literalizes the notion of the parent who seeks to live through the child; it thus establishes the tendency of the series to use plot elements as metaphors for deeper social issues.The episode marks the introduction of Elizabeth Anne Allen as Amy Madison, who played a major role in the sixth season.
