Trivia:

Jason Dohring and Ryan Hansen improvised a crude hand gesture widely known as "The Shocker" during the pool scene. While the act slipped by the censors, it was unable to be edited out of broadcast because Jason Dohring did the gesture for every take.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Veronica takes a flash picture at 12:08, the flash is not enabled on her camera. The pulse of light was added as a visual effect.

Quotes:

Veronica Mars: When my dad finds out about this, he's not gonna let me wash this hand.
Terrence Cook: So, who's your favorite player?
Veronica Mars: Ummm...
Duncan Kane: Tell him. Be honest.
Terrence Cook: It's Johnny Damon, isn't it?
Veronica Mars: He's so pretty.
