A Change of Heart/Trivia

==Trivia==
*If Lumpy survived his heart attack, then this would be the first episode to have a single main character die.
*This is the first episode of the TV series where all of the silent characters (Mime, The Mole, and Cro-Marmot) survive.
*If Lumpy survives in the end, then this would be the only regular episode to have all of the four primary characters and also have them survive.
*Disco Bear's silhouette appears on the record in the cafe's jukebox, indicating he may have released that album. As he has a gold record on the wall of his bedroom in Ipso Fatso, this could provide further evidence that Disco Bear was a musician during the 70s, which would account for how he can afford his large house. Also, the music is similar to the title song of this episode.
*From Petunia's perspective, when Disco Bear fell unconscious on the floor, his drool is in the shape of a broken heart.
*Lumpy is somewhat out-of-character in this episode, as he is not only smarter than usual, but also crueler, as seen by him bossing around Giggles and stealing a dead Handy's heart among other things. However, Lumpy has been occasionally portrayed with higher intellect and has acted somewhat bossy and antagonistic before.
*If Lumpy is confirmed to have died in this episode, this would be the only episode ever where a character dies from natural causes.
*While playing soccer, Cuddles' bunny slippers have cleats and an angry expression.
*This is the first episode in the TV series in which the number of surviving characters is higher then the number of dead characters.
*This is the first (and so far only) time in the series where Cro-Marmot serves a food other than ice cream.
*In the butcher shop, Cro-Marmot has blood on his apron (though it could have been remains of meat).
*If Lumpy did die in this episode, then that would make this the only TV episode where Handy is the first character to die.
*This is one of the few TV episodes in which a starring character does not kill anyone. The others are Who's to Flame?, Home Is Where the Hurt Is (debatable), and Tongue in Cheek.
*This is one of the rare episodes to have all featuring characters survive and the only TV episode to have so.
*If Lumpy survives in the end, This is one of the three TV episodes where the stars has two or more characters and all of them have survived. The others are Easy Comb, Easy Go and See What Develops.
*This is one of the few TV episodes where Lumpy eats a sandwich. The others are Home Is Where the Hurt Is and Letter Late than Never.
*Running gag: Lumpy eating sandwiches throughout the episode.
*Lumpy may have died after the end of the episode, as he appears to be the only heart surgeon in the city, there are no donor hearts left, and Giggles is exhausted and probably would not be able to save his life. This is, of course, assuming that his heart attack was similar to Disco Bear's.
*This episode has the highest survival rate that isn't 100%.
*Since all of the deaths in the episode occurred before and (debatably) after the episode, this episode is one of only a few that contains no deaths witnessed in it (unless one counts the times Disco Bear flat-lined in the hospital).
*This is one of the few TV episodes that focuses on a specific part of the body (in this case, the heart). The others are A Sight for Sore Eyes (eyes), Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow (ears), Chew Said a Mouthful (jaw), and Tongue in Cheek (tongue).
*It is unknown why Nutty is in a butcher shop, since he is addicted to sugar. However, he may be filling in a role for the creators, or he could also possibly just like meat, and is trying something different to candy.
*The YouTube thumbnail for Part 1 spoils Handy's death.
**The thumbnail on mondomedia.com spoils Disco Bear's injury.
*This is one of only two TV episodes where only one main character dies, the other is Tongue in Cheek. However, since the whale died along with Handy, the latter is the only TV episode to have just one death in it. (debatable)
*This is the only TV episode in which Disco Bear stars and does not kill anyone.
*This is the first TV episode where Cro-Marmot's featuring pop-up is used.
*This is the episode where Lumpy speaks clear English the most.
*This episode marks the first instance of Petunia having sympathy for Disco Bear.
*This is the first TV episode that Toothy and Nutty survive.
*This is the only TV episode not to have any on-screen deaths. Not counting Disco Bear flatlining several times throughout the episode, since he survives after Lumpy gives him a whale heart.
*This is the first of two TV episodes along with Chew Said a Mouthful where Nutty appears without Sniffles.
*This is one of the only two TV episodes in which Nutty survives, the other being In a Jam.
==Cultural References==
*The title of this episode means to completely change your personality and thoughts.
*The moral means that one feels more affection for those they love when parted from them.
==Superlatives==
*Disco Bear's repeated flatlining is similar to Giggles' injury in Blood Donor as both characters flatline at the hospital but survive in the end.
==Continuity==
*Among the garbage attached to the whale's heart at the scene of the crash is a newspaper with an article about Lumpy on it. Lumpy would later be present in a newspaper article in A Sight for Sore Eyes, where Lumpy is once again a doctor.
==Production Notes==
*When this episode aired along with A Hole Lotta Love and Mime to Five on YouTube, the alternate title for the conglomeration of segments was named "Seventh Heaven". Cuddles, Mime, Petunia, Cro-Marmot, The Mole and Lumpy appear in all three episodes. Lumpy (debatably) dies in all three episodes, Cuddles and The Mole die twice, Petunia and Mime die once, and Cro-Marmot survives all three.
*The storyboard version of this episode has a few differences from the finished episode:
**The scene where Lumpy knocks Disco Bear out with a hammer is slightly extended, with him passing over some syringes and an anesthesia machine before opting for the hammer.
**The soccer game between Cuddles and Flaky that Lumpy inadvertently joins is shown airing on the ER's TV before the shot pans to the EKG monitor.
**During the cut to Giggles while Lumpy is waiting in the butcher's shop, Disco Bear briefly wakes up to wink flirtatiously at her.
**Toothy is in the truck that crashes at the end of the episode. Lumpy checks Toothy's pulse, finds none, then notices the whale heart and decides to use that for Disco Bear's transplant. Though he would have used Toothy's heart, Lumpy took the whale heart instead.
