Alright, The second part. This is even a noticeable improvement from Part 0.
Nic and Nathan investigate the tip from Fox by searching Delta's house, but not all is as it seems.

The shot of the booby-trapped doorway was filmed weeks after the episode was finished. Originally, Nathan said, "A quiet way in, master?" I had to cut out all the sound because there were 2 or 3 lawn mowers going in the background, and the thought of Nathan wanting to be quiet when there was already so much noise seemed idiotic.

The animal that attacks Nic makes a sound that is a composite of a screaming woman, a monkey, a lion, and a tiger. Nathan's feet being pulled into the door was a reference to The Wizard of Oz.

The third floor was not dark enough for the "suspense" of the scene, so we hung bed sheets and old sleeping bags over the windows. Two that can be seen are a Mickey Mouse sheet and a Batman Forever sleeping bag.

Originally, Nic and Nathan were both going to be zapped to a totally different planet that was completely covered by corn, instead of just the backyard.
