[edit] Trivia
- This episode features indie rock band Nada Surf covering the classic OMD song "If You Leave". It plays as Seth says goodbye to Anna in the airport, a tribute to the John Hughes film Pretty in Pink in which the original OMD version of the song appeared.
- The scene where Ryan drives Seth to the airport to try and stop Anna from leaving is a parody of a scene from an earlier episode, "The Escape".

Seth: What if the girl I'm supposed to be with went back to Pittsurgh?
Ryan: (about Theresa) She went back to Chino.
