Revealing mistake: When the episode ends and Jessica drives the buggy, she is replaced by a very obvious stunt double with a wig that not only does not resemble her hairstyle, but it's grey as opposed to her light blonde colour.

Trivia: This is the only episode in the entire series where the victim is attacked but is later revealed to be still alive.
Question: When we figure out at the end that Juan was Lloyd's killer, how come it didn't show a flashback of him stabbing Lloyd? Like the other scene where it shows Peter discovering his dead body and picks up the knife, and also at the end it shows Greta discovered his body too and turned his body around to look for the diamond, but didn't show Juan murdering him.
Answer: It may simply have been a matter of time, as this was a one-hour show. The murderer is always revealed at the end, though it is not necessary to show the actual murder. Also, at that that time, it may have been considered too graphic to show someone being stabbed on a family TV show.
