If you look at the scoreboard during Julie's tennis match in the beginning of the episode, you can see that her opponent's name was Carol Smith. edit »
When Ben and Julie were on their date, Ben was nervous of Julie finding out that he can turn into aliens but on the last episode of Ben 10, everyone finds out Ben's secret. edit »
When Ship took over the jet plane ride, he was able to fly. That's impossible because that wasn't a real jet plane and it didn't have a motor or engine. The only thing Ship could've done, was to move while on the floor. edit »
Humongousaur is so strong that he was able to go through the energy field, when any human could've been fried into a potato, based on Ben's speculations. edit »
Look Closely:
When Ben showed his true alien identity to Julie and transformed back, Ship talks to him. For a second, the 10 on Ben's jacket vanishes and his eyes turn black. edit »

Main Villain(s):
None. edit »

Jetray's fourth appearance in the series. edit »
Alien Encounter!
Humongousaur's fourth appearance in the series. edit »
When the Omnitrix beeps, it's usually a distress signal coming from a Plumber. edit »
This is the second time one of Ben's old alien form species appears. The first was Alan as a pyronite in, "Everybody Talks About the Weather". edit »

(truck goes by and Ship chases after it)
Ben: Well, so much for bonding. edit »
Galvanic Mechamorph: Yes, well as I was saying... Before I lost consciousness, I extruded a symbiote. The one you call Ship.
Ship: Ship!
Galvanic Mechamorph: Thank you. And setted off to find the nearest Plumber.
Julie: Because your sink was clogged?
Humongousaur: No. The Plumbers are intergalactic police officers. (Julie looks puzzled) Yeah, I'll explain later. edit »
Ben: Wait, I've seen that thing before.
Julie: You have?
Ben: Kinda. I used to be able to turn into one of those. Called myself Upgrade.
Julie: Well whatever it is, it's hurt. edit »
Ben: Hey did I miss anything?
Julie: What? Wait, you didn't see that?
Ben: See what? (Ship rises behind him) edit »
Ben: (shows Julie the cotton candy) Look. I've got pink and blue! Your pick.(shows Julie his blue teeth) edit »

Ship - Speech
Ship apparently has the ability to speak only his own "name," similar to Coco from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. edit »
Brainstorm : What the deuce?
This is a well-known line used by Stewie in Family Guy. Both of them surprisingly talk in a formal manner. edit »
Allusions from the Previous Aliens:
Brainstorm seems to have the ability of Benvicktor's lightning and Grey Matter's intelligence. edit »
John Cleese:
The Galvanic Mechamorph appears to be channelling John Cleese, a British comedian mostly known for Fawlty Towers and anything Monty-Python related. edit »
Pier Pressure - Title:
"Pier Pressure" is a play on the term, "peer pressure," meaning you are pressured by someone around your age to do something. The word "Peer" changed into "Pier" because it occurs on a pier during a carnival. edit »
