      ADD TRIVIA
      • Jack is talking to Matt in the locker room. Matt admits to Jack that he's gay. Jack tells him he should talk to his parents. Jack then says, "It's 2003. . ." Considering they had the election episode last week, they should have corrected this episode so he would say 2004. Edit
      • That scene with Matt is a flashback, thus taken place one year earlier than the present, which would be 2003. Edit
