Notes and trivia[]
- Alice says that Bette and Angie can be "the Grey Gardens of this generation"; the 1975 documentary was previously said in "Lynch Pin" (TLW 2x04) to be Mark Wayland's inspiration as a filmmaker.
- Alice asking Bette if there was any "fingering" during Bette and Gigi's date may be a callback to "Lone Star" (TLW 3x07), where a flashback showed Bette fingering Alice in public while they were on a date at the opera.
