* ScrewDestiny: A bit of foreshadowing after Bart's great escape on the bus to school. While Bart has Homer's jar of change for the show and tell project at school, Milhouse shows him his magic 8 ball he got from the thrift store. For laughs, the two ask questions of their friendship together into the future.... and none sound promising. Later on, when Bart goes to Milhouse to make amends which turns into a fight, Bart ends up grabbing (aside from the other wide varieties of deadly weapons like broken bottles and a knife) said 8 ball, and uses it to wack Milhouse upside the head into sanity, breaking it into pieces.

* CulturalBlending: Samantha ends up at a convent run by "French-Canadian nuns," but the writers don't seem to know anything specific about that culture. The scene does feature references to a few ''other'' cultures:
** The song "Dominique" is originally from Belgium.
** When Samantha says "They're very nice, except they never let me oot," she exhibits Canadian Raising, a feature of Canadian English phonetics that has nothing to do with Canadian French.
** When Milhouse and Samantha kiss, the score briefly quotes "La Marseillaise", the national anthem of France. This song has absolutely no connection to Canada or French Canadians[[note]]It was written three decades after France lost its North American colonies to the British[[/note]], and its use here is equivalent to using "Rule Britannia" to suggest "American-ness".
