Trivia:

Logan mentions that the club at which his father's boat is docked is called The Albacore Club. That name, and the flag with the club logo that is seen briefly in the episode, are both references to the club with the same name and logo in Chinatown (1974), and is thereby also a reference to that film's incest revelations (similar to the question throughout Veronica Mars's first season about whether or not ex-couple Duncan and Veronica are really half-siblings).

Goofs:

Continuity: Veronica drops her LeBaron off at Weevil's uncle's shop to be fixed. But later that day, when she takes the pictures of Tad and Seth at the boardwalk, she is sitting in her LeBaron. Then the next day, Logan brings her car to her, saying he had someone pick it up from the shop that day.

Quotes:

Veronica Mars: How long does it take you to create a highly incriminating, thouroughly liable sexually expilicit website?
Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie: Uh, 45 minutes, give or take?
