-first mention and appearance of Lana Shields

-can anyone tell me why Jack rejected Lana's flirtations after earlier in the episode he is taking cold showers because he hasn't been with any women.

-If Lana is made to appear that she has a lot of money, why does she move in that apartment building?

-I never saw the tag scene for this episode until the DVD release. This tag scene introduces Lana as a neighbor to the trio. I always wondered how she just popped in as a neighbor in future episodes since they never show the tag scene in syndication.

-Notice that Jack and Janet are wearing new clothes when they are sitting on the couch talking, this was because of the pie got smashed in the previous scene

-When Janet and Chrissy follow the FBI guys and leave the apartment who are following Jack and his date Walter Nessle, they leave the front door WIDE OPEN to their apartment.

-When Jack (dressed as a woman) tries to leave the Regal Beagle and escape his date, look outside the right window of the Regal Beagle, the shoe store and bakery are waving around in the background. Couldn't someone tape them down?

-Look at the famous Life poster in the living room by the plants, when Mrs. Roper leaves after dropping off the pie, the poster is crooked and looks like it's about to fall off the wall. This could be because of all the door slamming that was going on before Mrs. Roper showed up.

-In the scene where Mr. Roper is almost trimming the bushes when Mrs. Roper comes out to talk to him if you look into the background you can see at the end of the wall of the living room on the right side it is pitch black. You can tell it's just a stage.

-A hilarious scene is when Janet and Gregg are talking about the plants in the living room and Jack and Chrissy assume something else, lol, classic.

-When the Ropers go upstairs so Jack can sign the form to not sue Mr. Roper, look outside when they arrive it is daylight but as soon as the camera switches back to Mrs. Roper (standing by the open door), it's magically night time! It is more noticeable when they leave the apartment. Did someone forget to turn off a stage light?
