Tracy decides to play the Garfield character—an orange tabby cat—in an upcoming film "Garfield 3: Feline Groovy". When Liz visits Drew, in hopes that he can be her date to Floyd's wedding, Drew is surprised to see Liz, but tells her that he was thinking about her when he saw "this gorgeous woman ... putting glasses on her daughter's Mr. Potato Head." Later, at a park, Liz visits Dennis, in which she sees that he is building a strange contraption. Dennis tells her that he is trying to recreate and improve on the Balloon boy incident, a reference to the October 2009 hoax in which two parents claimed their son was on board a helium balloon that had floated away, but later turned out to be a publicity stunt. At Floyd's wedding, Wesley, who is English, tells Liz that he does not want to go back to England, as he does not want to witness the 2012 Summer Olympics, which is scheduled to take place in London, explaining "Did you see the Beijing opening ceremonies? We don't have control over our people like that." The episode's title is a reference to the Emmanuelle series of erotic films.
