Trivia
Ellen asks Paige sarcastically if she "brought enough luggage" to camp, when she sees her pull two suitcases. Paige straight answers that she has "another bag in the car". This gag was copied by Cybill: when Maryanne moves in with Cybill for the weekend, Cybill asks her the same as Ellen and---without fail---Maryanne deadpan replies with Paige's quip.

Goofs
Paige is holding a pair of sand colored hiking boots up to her chest. She complains that "the catalog said this was thistle, it is obviously slate". It is unclear if she means the beige boots or the mauve blouse she is wearing but slate is a color that is part gray and part blue, so that one can't tell exactly which color it is. Either way, her mauve shirt is in the pink family, and her boots in the pale brown (beige) family, which could actually be construed as "thistle", but neither is slate.
