Music from this episode:

New Day - Sounds from the Ground
Extraordinary - Liz Phair
Just a Ride - Jem (edit) Jaye's next victim (although not a near-death): Alec, The Mouth-Breather, hit in the eye with a foam dart. (edit) Jaye's computer in this episode is an Apple iBook (Tangerine model). (edit) Immediately after Bianca & Jaye first go to the bar, an exterior shot is shown of the Wonderfalls store. It looks more like Toronto than Niagara Falls because of the wind turbine that is seen for a split second before the camera pans down. The wind turbine is a landmark not at Niagara Falls but at Toronto's Exhibition Centre - where the store's exterior is filmed. (edit) Jaye talks with a mounted fish on the bar wall, a stuffed iguana, and a barrel bear. (edit)

Jaye: Hi, you're wearing my vest. That's my name.
Bianca: I spilled coffee on mine.
Jaye: Either way, you're wearing a Wonderfalls vest. In public. (edit) Jaye: You're like that girl in that movie who wanted to be like that other girl so much that she'd kill for it!
Bianca: Grease?
Jaye: Single White Female! (edit) Sharon: "Jayne, their youngest holds a philosophy degree from Brown -- and works retail." 12 more words!
Aaron: "And lives in a trailer park!" That's five right there! (edit) Bianca: (stuttering) St-St ...
Jaye: Stalking me?
Bianca: St-st ...
Jaye: Stabbing me?
Bianca: St-st ...
Jaye: Stealing my organs after you stab me?
Bianca: St-st ...
Jaye: Stitching a skin suit out of my dead corpse after you stab me and steal my organs? (edit) Jaye: (Reading her 15-word blurb) Daughter Jaye lives in Niagara Falls. Her blurb and life are a work in progress. (edit)

Not really a goof, but puzzling: When Bianca tried to tell Jaye where she told her parents she was headed, she kept stuttering "Ca...Ca..." and Jaye, even though she lives in Niagra Falls, didn't guess "Canada". (edit) Bianca says she stole Jaye's wallet from her pocket the night before. However, the night before, Jaye was wearing a skirt with no pockets. (edit) Notice nobody from the family leaves money for their meals before leaving? (edit) In the teaser at the table, Aaron puts down the book, then it cuts to him with the book in his hands without picking it up, and then is cut to him eating from his plate. (edit) More bafflying math: During the book blurb discussion, Jaye says that Aaron got 26 words and Sharon got 19. Sharon says she counted 22 words for herself. If Jaye's count is right, the total word count for Aaron and Sharon is 45. If Sharon is right, their total word count is 48. However, when Jaye pouts to the Eric the bartender and Mahandra, she says her siblings got 51 combined. (edit)

Jaye: "You're like that girl in that movie who liked the life of the other girl so much that she killed for it!" "Grease?" "Single White Female!"
Single White Female was a famous 1992 film starring Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Leigh was obsessed with Fonda's life, and tried to steal everything, including her husband. The film inspired plots for many other movies and TV episodes (see also the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Faith, Hope, and Trick" for another Single White Female reference). (edit) Bianca: "Grease?"
Grease was a famous 1978 adaptation of a stage musical starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. I was made on a low budget, but became one of the highest grossing films ever made. Together with "Welcome Back, Kotter!" and "Saturday Night Fever", it made John Travolta a superstar. (edit) Jaye: Stitching a skin suit out of my corpse...
This MAY be taken from 'The Silence of the Lambs' where the kidnapper/killer created a skin suit from his victim's bodies. (edit)
