Trivia[]
Continuity[]
- PJ's real name is first mentioned in Can You Keep a Secret?.
- Spencer's girlfriend's name is Gigi. This happened to be Teddy's nickname in Ditch Day.

- Toby has brown hair, like Gabe.
- Continuous gag: Bob scratching his butt in front of Spencer, who is on video chat.

Errors[]
- P.J. says that his name is "Potty John," although that was his old legal name. His new name is P.P. Duncan.
- At the beginning where the Duncans are moving back in their old house, P.J. mentioned that Mrs. Dabney was on their porch sobbing, but if somebody looks closely at the porch, they will notice that Mrs. Dabney is not seen or heard.
