[edit] Trivia

You Had Me at Goodbye is a reference to the line “You had me at hello” from the movie Jerry Maguire
Jen tells Drue that he’s trying to make himself look better to others while trying to "hide his inner Iago", a reference to the character from William Shakespeare’s Othello.
Although still credited in the main titles for the remainder of the fourth season, this is Meredith Monroe’s (Andie’s) final regular appearance.
The episode is dedicated “In Loving Memory” to David Dukes, who played Andi and Jack’s father. He died before the initial airing.
