    • Trivia
      At the commercial break there is a soft playing of the show's theme song on keyboard. The reason for this is that the music was originally written in season 1 to frame Angela's character but it was then decided to use the song as the show's theme music.
    • Goofs
      When Alex leaves the Garage, he changes into the blue jacket. When he is driving around looking for Angela, he is wearing gray jacket. When he finally finds her, Alex's jacket is blue.
