Behind the scenes
- Sedusa tried to get Professor Utonium all to herself in "Mommy Fearest."
- As with "Collect Her," this episode strongly hints that the Mayor is a possible adulterer.
- The scene where the girls find the Mayor broken down at the fireplace after Ms. Bellum has been kidnapped mirrors the scene in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski, when the Dude finds Mr. Lebowski at the fireplace broken because his wife has been kidnapped. They both ask their visitor(s) if they are surprised by a man's tears and divulge with them the ransom note.
- Ms. Bellum's home address, "69 Yodelinda Valley Lane" is both a reference to the sexual positions "sixty nining" and "Yodel in the Valley."
Errors
Legacy
- Sedusa takes revenge against the girls for going bald in "Aspirations."
