==Trivia==
*Moral: When your friends are being nasty to one another, don't just stand there and say nothing. Stand up for the people being targeted.
*Some of the characters dress up like Disney Princesses.
**Penny is dressed as Tiana from The Princess and the Frog.
**Dijonay is dressed like Cinderella, although Penny refers to her as the Brandy edition, in reference to the 1997 adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella.
**Michael is dressed as Pocahontas.
**Zoey dresses up as Merida from Brave.
**Trudy dresses up like Belle from Beauty and the Beast,
**LaCienega is dressed as Princess Elena from Elena of Avalor.
***Coincidentally, both Alisa Reyes and Aimee Carrero are of Dominican descent.
****Despite being a popular princess character, Elena is actually not an official Disney Princess, as the show itself was created by Disney Jr.
***When LaCienega arrives dressed as Elena, the Elena of Avalor theme song is played in the background.
*Oscar is dressed like the Minstrel from Sleeping Beauty.
*BeBe and CeCe are dressed like Simba and Nala as cubs from The Lion King.
*Maya dresses up like Beyoncé, who voiced adult Nala in the 2019 remake of The Lion King and released the Disney+ exclusive film Black Is King, which is what her costume is.
**Coincidentally, Destiny's Child (along with Beyoncé's sister, Solange) performed the theme song for the original Proud Family series.
*Oscar sings "She's Your Princess", a parody of "She's Your Queen" from Coming to America.
*LaCienega derisively calls Zoey "Katniss Everdeen", who was the main character from the novel series The Hunger Games.
*It’s revealed Michael Collins has a part Powhatan ancestry, which is why he chose to dress up as Pocahontas.
*When bringing up how Myron asked out Zoey a lot, they didn't mention how he used to ask out Penny in the original series.
*This episode is regarded as the most controversial episode in the series. This is due to the terrible execution of the message, and leaving many with a bad taste with how the characters, specifically Penny and Zoey's friends, were portrayed as.
