Trivia
First episode to use the new intro theme so as to show all of the main characters

Goofs
During Schmidt and Cece's conversation about her dating Mark-Paul Gosselaar, at one point (from a camera angle behind her head) she leans in to place her ear on the door and listen. When the camera cuts to show her from the front, she's nowhere near the door. Then when it cuts back, she's leaning on the door again. This goes back and forth multiple times, with her position changing every time the angle changes.

Quotes
Nick Miller: When I was 9 years old, I fed cereal flakes to a frog and it died. Then there was a period of time where I fed cereal flakes to all little animals. Squirrels can live through it. Chipmunks can live through it. Anything that lives half in and out of water dies, and I don't understand why. When I was 10, I once walked by my mother sleeping, and I snuck in her room and I put a lemon in her mouth. When I was 11, I once tried on my girl cousin's woolen tights, and I didn't hate the way it felt!
