Trivia[]

  • This episode was delayed for a week due to Thanksgiving. A marathon of the first three episodes of the third season was broadcast in its place.
  • Mary is haunted by the ghost of Rebecca Nurse, who was wrongfully executed for witchcraft. As Rebecca reaffirms that she isn’t a witch and shouldn’t be hanged, Mary pleads with her to leave her alone, as the execution wasn’t her fault. Mary also claims she didn’t have a choice in the matter, but Rebecca insists that she always has a choice. [2]

Cultural References[]

  • It is a reference to one of Adam Simon's favourite quotes from Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act III, Scene II: "Good things of day begin to droop and drowse; Whiles night’s black agents to their preys do rouse." [3]
  • The title of the episode is a poetic way to describe witches.
