Veronica Mars (2004) references in this episode: Liv says about Peyton when asked, "A long time ago we used to be friends," which is a line from the Veronica Mars (2004) theme song "We Used To Be Friends" by The Dandy Warhols. When Liv pulls out a bottle of spicy whiskey in her inner monologue she says to the bottle, "Hello friend," a phrase said frequently during Veronica's inner monologues as well.
