The Abbé tells Edmond of a fantastic treasure hidden away on a tiny island, that only he knows the location of.

It's not made clear how old the character Haydee is supposed to be at this point, so the presumption is that she's around the same age as the actress playing her (who was in her early 20s).

There is an in-story equation of mental illness with violence: a character makes a violent attempt to escape captivity, and is labelled as mentally ill and dangerous. The character is not actually mentally ill (at that point), only desperate.

Overall:
- There is a significant age gap between the main character and the woman he ends up with (he addresses her as "child", and when she declares that she loves him she makes a point of specifying that it's not like a father). The ages of the characters are not specified, but the actors were 40 and 24.
- In one episode, a scene features a sultan of advanced age and one of his concubines; again, the ages of the characters aren't specified but the actors have a 50 year age difference. It is at least specified that the two have not been intimate (yet).
