There is a slight continuity error in this episode. In the episode The Trouble With Triplets, Betty's dad claimed that Granny was his mother, not Betty's mom's. That all changed in this episode, however. (edit)
When Betty is in the mall at the begining, if you look closely you can see a plushie of Sparky in a woman's shopping cart. (edit)
