Trivia

The Mickens' address, as seen on the piece of mail addressed to Mrs. Melinda Mickens (J. Smith-Cameron) that Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) takes out of their mailbox toward the end of this episode: "10646 River Street Magnolia, AR 71754"

Goofs

The stripper character, Yvetta, played by Natasha Alam, who is Uzbek/Russian, is introduced by Eric as being from Estonia. While it is possible that a Russian could be from Estonia, it is unlikely that she would identify as Estonian. Estonia is not in Russia but was in the former Soviet Union so many Russians continue to live there; however, they speak a totally different language and are very different in most ways. Unlike the actress' native Uzbekistan which continues to be dominated by Russian culture and language, Estonia is very much a place where people identify as Estonian and speak that language.

Quotes

Lettie Mae: [about Tara] How is she?
Lafayette Reynolds: [going to get in his car] Sleepin' finally. So keep it down. I don't wanna wake her up.
Lettie Mae: Thank you for callin' me.
Lafayette Reynolds: This ain't about you and me building a bridge into our future together, alright? You SHOT a gun at me! But you know what, I don't even have the time. I got two jobs, both of which I need. One of which I already didn't show up for today.
