A man wants to figure out why he keeps having weird dreams during the full moon.
A man wants his daughter, Wendy Schaal, to be a country music star, but Julie wants to be a photographer instead.

I wonder why they keep casting Julie as a hillbilly; Wendy Schaal is from Chicago.

How many characters in this show are named Elizabeth?!

This guy keeps drinking water, and then he shows Roarke a picture of a flower. He fills up his glass of water again, and Roarke looks at him suspiciously… is this dude turning into a flower? Yeah! He said that in his dream, he wants to yell, but he has no voice… it’s because he’s a flower!

Roarke: This picture you gave me… it is an exotic species called the Lykos Orchid.

This is Carol Lynley’s second time being in a fantasy about a orchid (after 4×1 “The Devil and Mandy Breem”).

Roarke: I am not certain of the flower’s significance… yet.

Bullllshit. You know what’s going on.

Roarke: These nightmares… you experience them with each full moon?

So he’s a…. were-flower?

Oh, boo. It sounds like he’s just a plain old werewolf. That’s boring.

Roarke [on the phone]: He suspects. Possibly, he already knows. Yes. Alert your patrols, but say nothing about… a werewolf. Just say there may be some difficulty around the Tabori bungalow tonight.

This is overly suspicious behaviour, even for Roarke. We have no idea who he’s talking to on the phone here.

I wonder how old Julie is supposed to be. Wendy Schaal is 27, but I feel like in this fantasy, she’s supposed to be a kid; she talks about submitting an application to a photography school, so my guess is she’s supposed to be somewhere around 18.

I feel like this pinball machine should be in the tiki restaurant, not the Ole Opry.

Last night was the full moon, and Charlie turned into a werewolf and killed some goats. Now, it’s the next day, and Roarke arrives at the bungalow with the security guards. I think it’s a little late for that.

What’s the deal with werewolves? I thought they would only turn once a month, on the night of the full moon, but apparently, this guy is going to turn into a werewolf again tonight.

That’s not Mr. Roarke. They really needed a stunt double for this?

These farmers are shooting at the werewolf that is clearly just a man with a hairy face wearing men’s clothes. I’m pretty sure that’s called murder. Also, I’m pretty sure Roarke said no firearms on Fantasy Island a few episodes ago.
