[edit] Trivia
- When Ryan is leafing through the scrapbook, on his and Taylor's hospital bracelets it lists them as being born on 5 September 1986 & 9 July 1985 respectively, making them both nearly three years older than reality, and getting both their birthdates wrong (Ryan was shown to be born on the 19th March, 1988 and Taylor on the 23rd February)
- The song played during the segment when Ryan was leafing through the scrapbook (The West Coast) has generated a huge online interest in the song, with many people attempting to acquire the song via legal and non-legal means. It is now known that the artist who sang this song is a band called Coconut Records, which Jason Schwartzman, formerly of Phantom Planet, is a part of. The song is available on iTunes, or on the band's album, Nighttiming.
- Throughout this episode there are several references to page 47 of "A Season for Peaches" the book written by Henri - Michel. This may be a reference to the ABC Spy series Alias in which Page 47 was a significant artifact of the works of Milo Rambaldi.
- Though Holly Fischer appeared in The Chrismukk-huh?, her appearance was non-canonical. This is Holly's first real reappearance since The Heights.
- This episode marks the last appearance of Dr. Roberts portrayed by Michael Nouri. Though Summer did marry Seth in the series finale, Dr. Roberts was not seen walking Summer down the asile.
- There is a poster for "Big Korea" in the window of the book store, this is a reference to the Band that Summer's Prom date in season 3 was a member of.
