- TriviaEpisode title spoken by Charlie, to Chelsea (Jennifer Taylor).
- GoofsThe coffee shop scene has a number of continuity errors. One of the most obvious also involves a running "product placement" seen in a number of episodes of the show. When Chelsea and Charlie are talking, Charlie is sitting in front of a counter where there's a large cookie container. At screen left is a man in a dark grey T-shirt, and also behind Charlie is a box or low counter with a couple of cans of Cafe Pilon clearly visible. Suddenly, in one cut to Charlie, there are at least 12 cans of Pilon visible behind Charlie, and a large "Cafe Bustelo" sign on the counter, with the cookie container and the grey-shirted extra still in view. (Pilon and Bustelo are two brands of Cuban-style coffee made by the same company. Both have characteristic yellow and red labels, PIlon more red, Bustelo more yellow.)
