Trivia

  • It is revealed that Clancy Bouvier died of lung cancer. In "Jazzy and the Pussycats", Homer makes a reference to Clancy Bouvier being dead by saying "I know I will use that white noise machine I got you, when your father died." while he was in bed with Marge.
  • Maggie's plan's subtitles break the fourth wall: After securing the perimeter, the ground troops will advance and reinforce flanks, as the aerial units will soften their defenses. Then we shall advance in a pincer moment to infiltrate the compound and liberate our friend. If you've read all of this, congratulations, you're a genius!
    • Homer also breaks the fourth wall when he told Marge "but that's where we do our couch gags!" when Marge says that Patty and Selma can sleep on the couch.
  • Whenever Homer used bleach, it was never seen in the original airing on Sky1, nor Reruns.
    • Also, Homer was never seen going in the shower with Patty inside.

Continuity

Goofs

  • Selma lost her sense of smell due to a bottle rocket accident as a child ("Black Widower"), but in this episode, it seems like she can smell.
