Trivia[]
- This is the penultimate episode of Good Luck Charlie.
- This is the final appearance of Ivy Wentz; this episode reveals that she got accepted into a college in Arizona.
- The plot is somewhat similar to two previous episodes, Up a Tree and Baby Steps.
- Up a Tree is referenced before the tree house broke, for the second time.
- Emmett doesn't appear until the end of the episode.
- Taylor, Charlie's friend from preschool, is revealed to be the daughter of a lesbian couple. Susan and Cheryl, Taylor's mothers, are the first same-sex couple to be featured in a Disney Channel series.
- In January 2013, before this episode was even written, Mia Talerico received death threats on Instagram.
- An erroneous rumor spread on social media shortly after this episode aired that claimed Disney Channel cancelled the show for this episode's depiction of a same-sex couple. This rumor was categorically false and appears to have spread due to confusion from Good Luck Charlie's finale being the next episode.
