Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title is from the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).
- GoofsNear the end of the show, Alice goes to demonstrate that she trusts the rest of the main characters by falling backwards. As she moves into position, she lifts her leg up to step over what is most likely a padded surface. This leg up is completely unnatural, giving away the filming secret that she is falling back onto a safety surface, when no one moves to catch her.
