"The Tear of a Smurf" is one of the few episodes where Grouchy shows his caring side as he and Jokey watch the other Smurfs crying thinking they are dead.
"The Tear of a Smurf" reveals that Chlorhydris has a daughter, as well as having had a husband, who clearly is not her fiancée Manfred the Magnificent (seen later in the series). This is her daughter Priscilla's only appearance in the series, and it is never revealed what happened to her after she regained her beauty, or if she ever was able to bring back her father or her suitor.
"The Tear of a Smurf" is the episodic debut of the evil sorceress Chlorhydris who previously made her debut in the 1983 Smurfs special "My Smurfy Valentine". While she is a major character in this episode, it is the only time she does not speak a line.
