The prescription Abby takes is Alprazolam, more commonly known in the United States as Xanax. It is in the benzodiazepine group of drugs, which can be habit forming and must be used with care. Alprazloan slows down unbalanced chemical movements in the brain thus resulting in a reduction in nervous tension. It is used to treat anxiety and panic disorders as well as anxiety caused by depression.

In behind the 401 in this scene is Toronto's Pearson International Airport.

We learn that Abby's maiden name is Sutherland and that her parents' names are Harold and Maxine, who were born in Kentucky in 1948 and 1951 respectively. She has not spoken to them for many years due to, among other things, their dislike of Mitch and the boycotting of their wedding.
