    • Trivia
      Cam and Mitchell use the bull and matador costume much like the company logo for Picador Productions at the end of each episode.
    • Goofs
      When Claire is hiding in the bathroom; Phil and the potential buyers walk in and can not see her. When they leave the bathroom and Phil closes the medicine cabinet you can see Claire standing in the tub reflected in the mirror. The mirror is in line with the door and they all would have been walking into the bathroom with nearly the same view as the mirror and should have seen Claire standing there. The woman was standing right in front of where Claire was supposed to be in the tub, and even if she hadn't seen her when she walked in she would have seen her once she was standing in front of the sink.
    • Quotes

      Luke Dunphy: Why are there giant lollipops all over the front yard? And why do they taste so bad?

      Alex Dunphy: Because they're made out of cardboard, mouthbreather.

      Phil Dunphy: Hey! The world needs more dreamers, Luke. Never stop licking things.
