Even though this isn't the series' first two-part episode, it's the first (and only) one to air as a one-hour episode.
The episode has two production codes (WABF04 and WABF05) and two scripts. This is because it's two production episodes. It's also counted as both episode 608 and 609 as a result.
The gas station that declines Mr. Burn's credit card is called Wilson's. In the novel "The Great Gatsby" , George Wilson owns the gas station in the valley of ashes.
Only the seventh canon episode of the series with its title appearing on-screen, along with The Telltale Head (1990), Bart Gets Hit by a Car (1991), 22 Short Films About Springfield (1996), The Book Job (2011), Homerland (2013), and Barthood (2015).
The episode's plot and the title itself is a reference to "The Great Gatsby".
