Brandon: It's always been my problem - lots of protection but no one to protect.

Brenda: You know how you can be totally in some guy like Keifer Sutherland and then suddenly see him in a magazine and say, "Where was my mind".
Kelly: Yeah.
Brenda: That's how it was with Mr. Brody tonight.
Kelly: Brenda is getting very mature. (edit) Dylan: Man, she is wild!
Brandon: She's not.
Dylan: Well, she must be on sensory overload or something....
Brandon: Listen man, I think your the only one here on an overload.
Dylan: What are you talking about?
Brandon: Dylan you can probably go out with any girl in the school that you want. Why are you hitting on my girlfriend?
Dylan: Brandon, you are out of your mind. I'm not hitting on her.
Brandon: Come on, Dylan I know how you operate: "I know this great club we can get into; look at my nice car; No, no, let's just go in and Brandon will find us; let me buy you a drink...."
Dylan: That's not what happened!
Brandon: It doesn't work with Sheryl!! She's not into your car, she's not into your cast, she's only into one guy!!
Dylan: You?!
Brandon: That's right!
Dylan: Well, I think you guys need to have a serious talk, Brandon. As much as I hate to tell you this, your girlfriend hit on me tonight!! (punches Dylan)
Dylan: (gets up and grabs Brandon) You better figure out who your friends are! (edit)
Kelly: Yeah.
Brenda: That's how it was with Mr. Brody tonight.

In this episode Brandon states that they are having a heat wave in November, but in the next episode Jim says that it is October.
(edit)
In this episode Brandon states that it is November, and Sheryl says she and Brandon haven't seen each other in six months. For this to be true the Walsh family would have had to move away from Minnesota in May, meaning the Walsh twins would have started at West Beverly High at the end of the previous school year and not on the first day of the new school year.
(edit)
When Sheryl moves in to kiss Brandon for the first time her arms are crossed and low near her waist. In the close up of the kiss her hands are cupping Brandon's face, but when they pull apart her arms are crossed again.
(edit)
Brenda wears a long necklace when she babysits, but when she rides home in Kelly's car the necklace is gone. However, when speaks to her mother after arriving home the necklace reappears.
