Cultural references[edit]

  • The title is a reference to the 1991 psychological thriller starring Julia Roberts Sleeping with the Enemy.
  • The water mark that says "only you can prevent test fraud", is based on Smokey the Bear's quote "Only you can prevent wildfire".
  • Nelson singing in the night next to a candle; he is singing the lyrics to "Papa, Can You Hear Me?". The song is sung by Barbra Streisand in the play Yentl.

Trivia[edit]

  • When Homer draws a picture of himself it looks similar to his original look. Originally, Homer was going to have a G for his ear and the M on his hair and it would form Matt Groening's initials. However, as explained in the audio commentary for "Lost Our Lisa", the design was dumped as it would be too distracting for fans.

Continuity[edit]

Goofs[edit]

  • When Lisa enters the living room to join Bart's party, she passes through the foyer by the back door. But when she runs away crying, the couch, lamp, rug, and dresser suddenly appear there.
  • When Nelson enters the Simpson house, he acts like he's never been there before, even though he was there in "Bart the General", after admitting defeat by Bart.
  • The scene with the State Capital test is very inaccurate. First, the test left out Arkansas so the Capital of California is Little Rock, which is the Capital of Arkansas. The Colorado Capital became Sacramento, California's Capital and the Colorado Capital became Denver. Then the answers merged closer making it the same as it should be. The final problem is when Homer claims the Capital of Kentucky is not Frankfort. The Capital is Frankfort. The problem with it is that Kentucky is not on the One Page quiz. This is because the quiz only goes to Iowa.
  • When Sherri and Terri are running away from the skunk, Terri has a purple hand.
  • Homer drew a simple black and white sketch of himself, but when he talks to Lisa, his drawing is colored.
