    • Lorelai says that Paul Anka is very self conscious when he eats and so is she and that's how she knows it's going to work out. Lorelai however isn't self conscious about eating at all. Quite the opposite actually.
    • In Season 1 Episode 11, "Paris Is Burning", the episode begins with Lorelai and Rory looking at the puppies at a pet fair in the town center. Lorelai was particularly enamored with a puppy called Buttercup. Underneath Buttercup's cage were two other cages, each containing a puppy. The dog in the lower right hand cage looks remarkably like this year's Paul Anka.
    • Luke has different tables by the door in this episode and they keep changing throughout the season.
    • When Luke and Lorelai are talking about movies in the diner, Luke sets the coffee pot on the counter after he fills Lorelai's cup. When he walks away he leaves the pot on the counter, but after his conversation with TJ, you can see that the coffee pot isn't there anymore.
    • When Luke and Lorelai are discussing what to do with her house when they move out she suggests that they turn it into a recording studio and when they are not using it to rent it our to Korn. This is reminiscent of the episode "That'll Do Pig: (Season 3) where Richard's mother mentions that she has been renting her house to Korn while she was in London.
    • Rory states that she doesn't have time to get a job, that 300 hours of community service in 6 months is a full time job itself. Break that down - it's actually 50 hours a month - only 12.5 hours a week. That's plenty of time to have a job.
    • T.J. states that he is going to watch Bewitched on DVD. When this episode was originally aired, however, the Bewitched movie was not yet available on DVD.

I'm going to be like Michael Corleone dealing with that slimy brother-in-law of his. Get a couple of tickets to a ballgame. Invite him along and we'll talk about the beer and the hot dogs we're going to eat, and then I'm going to get him to admit that he did this. And then when we get in the car on the way to the ball park I'm going to put a rope around his neck and pull it 'till he's dead! Lorelai: Wait, wait. You're in the back seat? Luke: Yes, it's best for garroting. Yes. Lorelai: No, he's totally going to smell something fishy if you hop in the back seat, especially if you're driving. Luke: No, he's not that bright. It'll work! Lorelai: Why are you even buying the tickets? You could just sneak up on him and garrote him on the street, save you the money! Luke: I could still go to the game the other way! I'll take my friend Ed. He hasn't been to a game in ages.
