Trivia

 * This is the longest episode of the first season, breaking both the pilot & episode 2's record by a mere 2 minutes.
 * Tachio & Jay from Tellyzx's other show, The Emerald Chronicles make a brief appearance.
 * Thomas & Mark kiss for the first time since the pilot & similar to that moment, it felt like fireworks to them. However unlike the pilot, they've developed actual feelings for each other.
 * Blaine & Terry's potential fling was supposed to be a one-off plot in Episode 7 but Tellyzx decided to give it some air & made it into a recurring plot that goes on for 2 episodes (this one & Ep.5)
 * Trenton brings up his career path which is to become a Social Worker. This is a subtle reference to his original character's established career in the failed project Totally Humanized Safari Zone.
 * Chad breaks the 4th wall when he waits for the scene to cut away in order to speak with Melody. This was also done in Episode 5 by Melody.
 * It's not mentioned or brought up but Mark's first time was with Thomas following their moment of confession to one another in this episode.
 * Tellyzx believes this to be one of his favorite episodes to write since it talks about one of his favorite plot lines (Love Triangles.) He admits that this isn't his best plot line to write & has failed numerous times but firmly believes he's improved with this episode being the defining example at the moment.
