TriviaEdit

This episode takes place four months after "Time Stands Still", and a few days after "The Sleepover".
- Gary mentions that Delilah "barely had time to get over" Danny's sleepover.
This is the first episode where Charlie does not appear since her birth.
Per DJ Nash, the name of Maggie's date is "Larry" because they wanted to tease the episode's editor, whose name is Larry.^[3]
The fact that Maggie has only Henry Winkler's autograph on her shelf is a reference to DJ Nash's own childhood. He revealed on Twitter that Winkler is the only person he ever wrote to as a kid and asked for his autograph, before having the chance to work with him years later.^[4]
