Goof: Amy is driving Bruce home and Amy talks to him about why he seems distant and quiet. As Bruce tells her to make the next right, they drive past a fast food restaurant, a Carl's Jr. There are no Carl's Jr.'s in the state of Connecticut where the show is supposed to take place. They are a west coast fast food establishment, primarily located in California.
Vincent: I just found this letter of acceptance for Dad. Why didn't he go to Yale Medical School? Maxine: The week your father was accepted, we found out I was pregnant with Peter. Vincent: So Dad quit his dreams and went into the insurance business? Maxine: No he didn't quit his dreams, he traded them for a different one. Your father was a pragmatist Vincent, and he loved his family very much. Vincent: So he wanted a family more than medical school? Maxine: Yes. When we had Amy I figured perfect one boy one girl, now we have our family, but your father wanted one more. He finally talked me into it. Vincent: So you never wanted me? Maxine: Just in the abstract dear.
Maxine: (to Eliza) You remind me of that kid. When you were a girl you were placed with that foster family in New Haven, do you remember? I had to work like hell to get you out of there, but you were strong. Eliza: How do you remember that? Maxine: You were a smartass, you made me laugh, you deserved better than them. Thats why I broke my back to get you away from them. Eliza: Because I was a smartass? Maxine: No, because you were an angel.
Music: Tracy Chapman performed "Across The Lines" from her "Tracy Chapman" cd.
The episode is titled, "Impartial Bias," which is ironic. A bias makes one partial to one side or another.
