Although we're coming into the home stretch, these performers/characters are introduced here and would be back for the finale (i.e. the second half of Part 5):

• Christopher Crooks as Elf King
• Jeremy Swift as Dr. Venn
• Kim Thomson as Queen Riding Hood III
• Lucy Whybrow as Elf Queen

Confusingly, some other actress was listed as Snow White before, so I put that, even though it seemed like Camryn Manheim, and that's who IMDB has for this episode.  (On her specific IMDB page, she's credited with all three last episodes.)  And this is honestly the only episode where Ann-Margret has noticeably been Cinderella, although she's been listed awhile.  (Her page lists her for seven episodes.)

I'm not sure of where exactly the split was when Part 5 became two episodes, as there's a pivotal scene smack dab in the middle that has no obvious breaks.  In any case, I can at least say that this episode includes Wolf rescuing the Lewises when they stupidly break rules that the Swamp Fairies have told them about, and it includes Virginia stupidly playing Hide and Seek, and then Hide the Sausage, with Wolf when they're supposed to be on their way to Wendell's castle for the coronation.  The characters doing dumb, pointless things definitely brings down the quality of the show, which I'll talk about more in the conclusion.
