*ShoutOut: The movie being projected onto the wall near the end is ''Film/TouchOfEvil''.
*TemptingFate: You know Sterling was doomed the moment he said he wanted to name his club "Club Alias," because there's no way Jessica would've named Alias Investigations after that unless it was because he meant something to her.
*WholeFlashbackEpisode: Except for the very last minute of the episode, this entire episode is one lengthy flashback about how Alisa had tried to get in touch with Jessica around the late 2000s.
