Trivia

 * This episode marks Ronnie Anne's first appearance in Season 3.
 * This is the first time since "Patching Things Up" (presumably the last) that the episode is directed by both Chris Savino and Kyle Marshall.
 * Due to Chris Savino's termination from Nickelodeon in October 2017, this is also presumably the last episode to be directed by him, unless there are any other future ones.
 * This is the third time the title card has a city backdrop, with the first being "Sleuth or Consequences", and the second being "Pulp Friction".
 * This marks the Casagrande family's second appearance in the series.
 * The title card music used for this episode is the same music used for when Lincoln rides the kiddie bike in "Hand Me Downer."
 * This episode features Lincoln and Lori as the only main characters and Loud siblings appearing. This is the fourth episode to do this.
 * Lincoln's complimentary photo of him fuming red is taken from "No Guts, No Glori".
 * This is the third time Lincoln's face turns red with anger.
 * The first was in "No Guts, No Glori", and the second in "Study Muffin".
 * Lincoln shows a rather masochistic side when he fantasizes about Ronnie Anne giving him a hard time when going to visit her and seems happy about it.

 * The restaurant Lori comes out of says "Rosato's Cafe", which is a reference to the episode's storyboard artist, Jordan Rosato.

 * Moral:
 * It's better to admit your feelings than to hide them.
 * Adjustment can be hard, but you'll get used to it over time.
 * It's unknown if Carlos, Carlota, Carlino, Rosa, and Sergio burst into the room when Lori opened the door.

Errors
