In the end tag scene when Luke is handing back Claire and Phil the mail, the following episodes are referenced: "Dude Ranch," "Disneyland," "Treehouse," and "Virgin Territory" (twice!!)
The sporty black convertible that plays a feature role in the episode storyline is an iconic Porsche in spite of having its famous badges removed from the front rear and interior. It is always referred to by generic terms even when it seems awkward to do so. In contrast, Andre mentions Phil getting his usual Cadillac lease at the start of the episode.
Ellen Barkin (Mitzy Roth) goes on to play a real estate agent in The New Normal too.
We find out that Cam's birth date is 02/29/1972 and that his favourite movie is The Wizard of Oz.

• The Froot Loop Necklace from Mother's Day
Almost all of the video segments in the home video reference past episodes:

Phil mentions that Angela Lansbury was the grand marshall of the tournament of roses parade, and that 'we got our butts kicked by Penn State.'

Penn State was in the 1995 Rose Bowl when Chi Chi Rodriquez was the GM. Penn State had never won a Rose Bowl prior to that.
