The episode title "Close Encounters" actually has a connection to The Richard Dreyfus movie of the similar name.
Perry Newsome (Effie's Father) is making The "Devil's Tower" with two pints of potatoes on his plate and a fork. Richard Dreyfus did the same think in the Steven Spielberg movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
The episode never explains how Perry Newsome came to envision a location that takes 24-hrs to reach from Toronto in a modern car and road system. It is a tip of the hat joke, still.

The Murdoch Pelican makes a cameo, again.
Julia Ogden-Murdoch discovers that indeed in "Kill Thy Neighbor" (Season 13, episode 13) that "Goldie Huckabee" did steal their colorful, South American Pelican. The Pelican appears in scenes at the house now and then, but make a strong impression towards the end of "Close Encounters." Very Strong impression.

George Crabtree's Aunt Chrysanthenum was one of many 'aunts' who helped raise Crabtree. Episode "Republic of Murdoch" (2013), the network of prostitutes (aka, his "aunts") was made known. Albeit, Aunt Chrysanthenum was not in the episode, but the name fits the number of aunts with flower names. The presence of Aunt Chrysanthenum is a character that precedes many of the viewers' viewership and retention -who have been a viewer of the show going back to 2014-2015.
