Cultural references

  • The title and plot of the episode reference the 2006 film The Departed.
  • The episode contains several elements of the film, including the use of the Dropkick Murphys song "I'm Shipping Up to Boston", the chasing scene and the ending, which shows a Rat.
  • While driving in the loaner car, Homer sings a parody version of the song "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes.
  • Bart also references the Diet Coke and Mentos eruption, using a pack of Green Apple Mentos, a normal can of Coke, and a styrofoam cup.
  • The car Homer loans is a 1st generation Cadillac CTS.

Trivia

  • At the end of the episode Ralph states "The rat is a sign of obviousness." He then smiles slightly, hinting that Ralph may have been the one true Rat.

Goofs

  • After Principal Skinner locks Bart and Donny in the detention room, he chuckles to himself, but his mouth doesn't move.
