Toward the end of the episode, a portrait of Nick is visible in his own desk. This is a reference to a third season episode in which Nick inherits money from his father after his death. He then goes on a shopping spree, with one of his impulse purchases being glamour photos of himself taken at a mall portrait studio.
Saylor Bell (Ramona) and Olivia Rodrigo (Terrinea) would both go on to appear in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
