Sione grows a "thingy" in this episode.
Mrs Tapili: Ask me what's to eat. Sione: What's to eat? Mrs Tapili: Nothing I'm dead! Ask me where your socks are. Sione: Where's my socks? Mrs Tapili: I don't know, I'm dead!
Mrs Tapili: (to Sione, in horror) You got a thingy!
Brother Ken: Now, to avoid the baby boom that always follows nine months after the ball, world wide television phenomenon, inadvertant lesbian icon and, it just so happens, my close and personal childhood friend Lucy Lawless, aka Xena Warrior Princess will hold a 'Making Choices' workshop for students and their families the day before the ball.
Dad Pepelo: Hey you bugger swines...Where's the pavlova everyones talking about, eh? Valea: There is no pavlova Dad, Sione's mum is DEAD! Dad Pepelo: That's so sad...I love pavlova...
Special guest star Lucy Lawless is best known for her title role on the show Xena: Warrior Princess, but has since gone on to star in the new Sci-Fi series Battlestar Galactica, as well as guest starring on numerous other shows produced throughout the world.
Sione sings the soul song "Try A Little Tenderness" at the ball, which has an 80s theme. In the late 80s, there was a popular movie called The Commitments, which featured a group of poor Irish youths who joined a soul band.
Mrs Tapili: (catching Sione at the ball) Dead boy walking! This is a reference to the movie Dead Man Walking.
Title The episode's title is a nod to the fairy tale Cinderella, in which a girl is mistreated by her stepmother, but ends in the girl marrying Prince Charming after they dance together at the ball.
