I was watching "The Boogiem@n" again last night and happened to notice that the slightly different handlink from "The Great Spontini" is in this episode as well. Interestingly enough, both this version and the regular "gummi bear" one are in the episode.
You can catch a glimpse or two near the middle of the episode when Al is still the Devil, and then at the end when he is his normal self, he has the normal handlink. This episode was filmed after "The Great Spontini" and was probably still filmed at a point where they needed a "dummy" version that didn't light up. Or, if you want to get creative about it, maybe the Devil couldn't exactly replicate Al's handlink and that's why His is slightly different. :b
