The title of this episode is a reference to a love triangle, which is a romantic relationship involving three people. Indeed, the relationship seen in this episode does include eight persons, hence the word "octagon": *Earl, Frank, Stewart and Catalina all try to seduce Billie. *Kenny is in love with Stewart. *Frank ends up with Jocelyn. *Catalina finally meets with her first love, Paco. Thus, the love octagon involves Earl, Frank, Stewart, Catalina, Billie, Kenny, Jocelyn and Paco.
In previous episodes Randy had a phobia of birds so much so he ran away when he saw one. However, in this episode he not only accidentally sets free Billie's cousin's pet bird, he catches it and returns it to its cage without showing any fear.
Featured Music: "Girlfriend In A Coma" by The Smiths (Stuart visits Billie) "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye (Catalina falls in love with Billie) "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley (Closing scene)
List Trivia: No lines are introduced or crossed off in this episode.
When the picture of Earl and Billie is taken, you can see that they both have their eyes closed. However, she has her eyes opened on the picture Earl has of her, so at least one picture of her exists with eyes open, unlike Earl, who doesn't have a picture with his eyes open.
Frank: I need a job so I can get out of here every day. Randy: Maybe we can get him a job as a bikini inspector. I've seen the uniforms on sale at the mall. Or he can be a beaver hunter, but you might need a license for that.
