Further proof that they knew what they were doing when "Thad Vaughn" became "Joey Collins." Remember in "Mrs. Moroney" Danny says to Marty that the Grand Jury chose not to indict him. But that's not what happened in "Daisies" where Danny *was* indicted and then was cleared when the gun "Thad" used turned up, confirming that Danny didn't shoot an unarmed boy. And if this *really* were a true sequel to "Daisies" with just the name fouled up, Danny would be telling "Marty" how his brother got hooked into working for a big-time drug pusher etc.

So in effect, they were retconning "Daisies" in more than just the name, but in altering the entire plot of it as well so that what we were left with was the ability to create an entirely new backstory in which they could use footage from "Daisies" without being on the hook to pay John D.F. Black anything or ask his permission if it was needed. In the end they wouldn't have seen it as relevant and they would have figured no one would remember in those pre-VCR days when continuity seldom mattered in episodic TV. Once they made those changes, they knew they'd covered their bases and if Black wanted to protest, he likely wouldn't have been able to prevail.
