The waiter on Sookie's first date with Jackson is played by the same actor that plays Joe from the Deerhill Lodge (Sookie's old friend from culinary school), who Sookie accidentally planned to go on a date with.
Rune makes a comment about Lorelai's height, saying she was too tall etc. The movie that Rory, Dean, Lane and Todd see in the cinema is 'Attack of the 50 Foot Woman'
Lorelai's blind date keeps remarking that she is much too tall. For the record, Lauren Graham, the actress who plays Lorelai, Is 5'9.".
Lorelai told Mrs. Kim that the girls went to a movie with Dean. They did go to the movies, so that was not a lie, but Rory and Lorelai kept talking about how Rory lied. The only thing that Lorelai didn't know was that Mrs. Kim didn't know about it. She also says that she would not have lied for Lane even if Rory had told her the truth, because one mother can not lie to another, it is the parents' code. This,however will be the only time Lorelai cares about this so-called code. Multiple times in the future, Lorelai will do the opposite where Lane is concerned (encouraging Lane to tell her mother something else when they have Bangles tickets, allowing her to hold band rehearsals in her garage, holding onto Lane's purple hair photo,etc). Lorelai only cares about lying directly to Mrs. Kim because Mrs. Kim "scares her."
Lorelei asks Rory who's singing which she replies Claudine Longet and Lorelei asks "the chick who shot the skier" which Rory responds "sure" it's a fact Claudine Longet did fatally shoot her boyfriend Spider Sabich in 1976 who was an Olympics skier.
