Instead, "I Missed You Guys" was sung at the end.
* A magnifying glass was seen in the picture frame even though one was seen in What Experiment Does Blue Want to Try? and Science with Blue when Steve, Josh and Blue used magnifying glasses with Shovel and Pail and saw a ladybug, grass and Steve and Josh’s hands and then Steve and Josh used their magnifying glasses and saw nooks and crannies on a cork/bulletin board, threads on a curtain and the second clue on tape and Steve took out the magnifying glass instead of the notebook by mistake, but not Josh, and Mystery of the Missing Pies when Josh used his magnifying glass to look at some kitchen equipment and saw the first clue on grass.
* Josh said, “big news,” even though the episodes were Blue's News and Big News with Blue when Blue had big news and it was the answer to Blue’s Clues and it was Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper having a baby when Blue left three clues on Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, and a baby bottle and Steve and Josh both thought that Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper have a new bottle but that’s not big news and having a bottle is not big news at all and Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper had Paprika, Sage and Ginger and Cinnamon wasn’t here until The Baby's Here!.
* This is the second Blue's Clues & You! episode in something that happened to the Thinking Chair. It got vanished even though the Thinking Chair never vanished or moved at all throughout the original *Blue's Clues* or the first 3 and 4 seasons of *Blue's Clues & You!*, except for what happened in The Wrong Shirt when Bob moved the Thinking Chair down since it was up.
* This is also the seventeenth time where broccoli, tomatoes, oranges, corn, carrots, and mushrooms were seen. The others being A Snowy Day, Nurture! and Blue's First Holiday when carrots were drawn, What Is Blue Afraid Of? when Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper’s first picture was a graham cracker and thought it was bread at first and the third picture was of celery and thought it was broccoli, Magenta Comes Over and Playdate with Magenta when Mrs. Pepper used a carrot, peas, and broccoli for her race car because they were the shortest, smallest, and bumpiest and Mr. Salt had a mushroom for his race car because it was smoothest, Steve Gets the Sniffles and Getting Healthy with Blue when there were 3 strawberries, blueberries and cherries, and only 1 banana and it didn’t belong, and then there was a watermelon, broccoli, peas, and a carrot, which didn’t belong because it was orange, and then there was a pear, orange, watermelon and celery, which didn’t belong and Steve, Josh, Blue, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper and Paprika sung Healthy Snacks, Blue's Big Holiday when Steve and Blue saw Tyrese and Purple Kangaroo celebrating Kwanzaa and they had a cup and corn with them, Café Blue when Steve, Blue and Mr. Salt went to the grocery store to get more ingredients for spaghetti sauce and mushrooms were in it, Let's Plant when a tomato plant was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on the color red, round shapes and a vine, Shape Searchers when food with a can, carrot and banana were drawn, Look Carefully... when Joe played Gopher’s Mystery Box with Shovel, Pail and Gopher and there was a carrot under the box, and Magenta's Case of the Giggles when corn was seen.
* This is the second time where a napkin was seen. The first time being Blue's Birthday when a napkin was missing.

* Josh said he was gonna tell Blue like Steve did in Blue's Birthday when after finding the third clue on a shell, he went to tell Blue but at first but saw that Magenta had the picture of her and Blue from Magenta Comes Over and then Steve told Blue about finding all 3 clues, which were the color green, a tank and a shell, and Blue beamed and together, Blue, Magenta, Slippery Soap, Baby Bear, Gingerbread Boy, Tickety Tock, Shovel and Pail all said, “Thinking Chair,” together with The Viewer.
* This is the fifth mystery episode. The first four being Blue's Big Mystery, Mystery of the Missing Pies, Blue's Mystery Present and Mailtime Mystery.
* In The Scavenger Hunt, Joe, Blue and Magenta had a scavenger hunt list of things and there were 3 clues, a tape player, a tape cassette, 2 eggs, 4 paper holders, 10 chocolate chips, a red oval, a white squiggly line, and a red triangle and they put the tape cassette in the tape player and made music, helped Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper make cupcakes by finding the same number of eggs, paper holders, and chocolate chips and they were put together to make cupcakes, and then skidooed into the Felt Frame to get the red oval, white squiggly line, and red triangle and put them together to make a balloon, and a party was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on music, cupcakes, and a balloon. But this time, the Thinking Chair has disappeared and there is a mystery going on and there is no scavenger hunt.
* Josh’s Blue’s Clues sound effect sounded just like the ones in Seasons 1-6 of the original Blue’s Clues from What Does Blue Want to Make? to Bluestock.
* The Pawprint was playing hide and seek like it did in Hide and Seek when Steve saw the Pawprint hiding in the top right corner and fist bumped Josh like he does with Cinnamon.

	+ This is also the third episode where a house was the first clue with Magenta Gets Glasses and Getting Glasses with Magenta being the first two. However, in Magenta's Messages and Morning Music, it was the third clue.
	+ Besides being a clue in those episodes, it was the answer to Blue’s Clues in Adventures in Art when Blue left three clues on a door, a window, and a roof.
	+ Also Steve drew a house in Draw Along with Blue when Chalk Girl told Steve to draw a house and he drew a big square, a big triangle and a miniature rectangle separately at first.
	+ And Josh said, “don’t forget the knob,” like he did in Getting Glasses with Magenta when he drew Magenta's house.

* Blue and Josh's skidooing sounds are like the ones that Steve and Joe did in the original Blue’s Clues.
* There are Groucho glasses, a hat, a scarf, paper, boxes, a clock and a plant in this episode like the Groucho glasses that Steve and Mailbox wore in What's So Funny?, a hat like in A Snowy Day, Blue's Big Costume Parade and Joshini The Amazing when hats were drawn, a scarf like in Blue's Big Baking Show when a blue-striped scarf was drawn, paper like in Periwinkle Misses His Friend, Blue's New Place, ¡Un Día Con Plum!

* The clues on Steve’s bulletin board were the same as the ones in Mailbox's Birthday, Blue Wants to Play a Song Game and What Does Blue Want to Make?. These were also seen in Meet Josh!, Mystery of the Missing Pies, and Mailtime Mystery.
* Josh sits in the Thinking Bench in the Mailtime segment even though Joe and Josh sat in the Thinking Bench in Soccer Practice, Blue's Big Neighborhood Adventure, and Knights of the Snack Table.
* This is Steve’s fifth appearance in the reboot. The others being Meet Josh!, Blue's Night Before Christmas, Mailtime Mystery and Blue's Treasure of Clue Lagoon even though he appeared in pictures in What I Like About Blue and Sage & Ginger's Baby Book and on a planet in Into the Blueniverse!.

* This marks the first time Josh and Blue ever visited the Blueprints Detective Agency, which was seen in Meet Josh! when Josh FaceTimed Steve, who works at the Blueprints Detective Agency, and Joe, who works at the Present Store instead of Cash Register, on how to play Blue’s Clues and they all sung Play Blue's Clues and The So Long Song and the Blueprints Detective Agency was seen in Mystery of the Missing Pies when Josh and Blue were looking for a pond with splashing and ducks and saw Gopher talking.
* Josh and Blue are investigating like Steve and Blue did with Shovel and Pail in The Grow Show, but not in Growing with Blue because investigating with Shovel and Pail had been omitted and skipped, when they investigated inchworms to which one was longer and the curved one was and the puddle with the small stone had more water and the one with the big stone had less water and when the inchworms switched the stones the big stone was where the small one was and the puddle where the small stone was still had more water.
* Steve called the Viewer a detective like he did in Blue's Big Mystery when Steve and Blue were solving a mystery of the “Mystery Builder”, who was none other than and first met and encountered Periwinkle.
* Rack and Josh are talking about a pocket even though there were pockets in Blue's Big Holiday when Steve saw a pocket was sad because he wasn’t an animal but was given to Purple Kangaroo and Animals in Our House? when a pocket was drawn.
* There is tape like the ones in What Experiment Does Blue Want to Try? and Science with Blue when the cyclone experiment was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on water, tape and 2 plastic bottles and Steve and Josh thought Blue wanted to put the water in both plastic bottles and get the tape and tape them and put the tape all over them and tape them all up with the tape and Joe's Surprise Party when wrapping Joe’s present was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on tape, Joe’s present itself and wrapping paper.
* There are keys even though in What's That Sound? when Steve heard Blue’s wind chime and Steve thought it was the keys, Blue's Big Treasure Hunt when Steve and Blue looked for a book and key to go to the Land of Great Discovery and the found the book next to Tickety Tock and the key in the kitchen and Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, and Paprika had the key and Paprika would not give it away unless they solved a riddle from Mr. Salt, who sung, “If you want to receive the treasure hunt key, you first have to answer a riddle from me,” and the riddle was, “Kangaroo starts with the letter K”, “Eggs starts with the letter E,”, and, “Yo-yo starts with the letter Y,” and they spelled, “key,” and Paprika gave the key away and after filling in the space with the sticker kitchen in the treasure map, Mrs. Pepper had a picture of a bookcase where Steve and Blue put a book in a space, then the bookcase moved and showed a door to the Land of Great Discovery and used the key to unlock it, and Adventure when Steve and Blue had riddles from Troll, Goblin and Dragon about worms, snakes, trees and the wind to find a key to save King Horace.
* Steve lost his notebook again like he did in The Lost Episode! and left it in the kitchen in the window by the flowers, which was the first clue, after seeing the second clue on grass and in Draw Along with Blue when Steve dropped his notebook and saw the first clue on the notebook.
* This is the twenty-eighth time where there were rhymes. The others being Blue Wants to Play a Game, Tickety's Favorite Nursery Rhyme, Blue's News, Big News with Blue, What Does Blue Want to Build?, Blue's Big Treasure Hunt, Blue's Big Costume Party, Spooky Costume Party with Blue, Blue's Big Pajama Party, Pajama Party with Blue, Adventure, Rhyme Time, Bedtime Business, The Legend of the Blue Puppy, Joe's Clues, Skidoo Adventure, Blue's Night Before Christmas, What I Like About Blue, It's Your Birthday!, The Ghost of the Living Room, Building with Blue, Blue's Backyard Sports Spectacular, Blue's Snowy Day Surprise, Rainbow Puppy's Skidoo Adventure, Blue's Treasure of Clue Lagoon, The Legend of the Jack O'Lantern and A Tale of Shovel & Pail.
* File Cabinet saying that Steve’s notebook is in the drawer closest to the floor is similar to what happened in What Game Does Blue Want to Learn? when Steve and Blue played Mother May I with Shovel and Pail and there were 10 numbers and Blue was on 4 due to her having “4” paws and Pail and Shovel were on 5 after Pail took “5” ballerina steps and Shovel took “5” Shovel sideways steps and Shovel and Pail were closest and Blue pointed to Steve to reach the end and took 5 steps to reach Steve, Snack Time to Joe Gets a Clue and Steve Goes to College to Bluestock and Meet Josh! to present when Steve, Joe, and Josh always get their notebook from Sidetable Drawer, who is always close to the floor since she is short and even though in Blue's Big Musical when Sidetable Drawer was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on Steve’s notebook, a knob and a drawer.
* Steve lost his crayon like he did in What Does Blue Want to Build? when after singing the Play Blue’s Clues song, Sidetable Drawer called out to Steve asked if he was forgetting something but Steve figured he wasn’t until he saw that he forgot his crayon but when he went to Sidetable Drawer, he took out a flashlight by mistake but it had the first clue and tried to draw it in the notebook with the flashlight until he got his crayon from Sidetable Drawer.
* There are yellow papers like the ones in Steve, Joe, and Josh’s notebooks because throughout the Blue’s Clues franchise, the pages in the notebooks were always yellow and even though in Colors Everywhere! and Blue's Show and Tell Surprise when the color yellow was drawn.
* Steve’s notebook and crayon are still the same from the original Blue’s Clues from Season 1-4 from Snack Time to Steve Goes to College and even in Blue's First Holiday: green and square shaped with the Thinking Chair on it and green striped.
* Steve, Josh, and Blue are splitting up like Scooby-Doo does when Fred, Daphne, and Velma go one way and Shaggy and Scooby-Doo go the other but Velma sometimes goes with Shaggy and Scooby and it’s similar to what happened in Blue's Big Mystery when Steve and Blue saw the footprints go 2 ways so they went straight and saw Gopher, who had the same footprints, but not the same tail because the tail that Steve and Blue saw was curvy and skinny and Gopher’s tail was short and stubby, and when Steve and Blue went the other way, they saw the tire swing move because the mystery builder rode in it, or bumped into it, or pushed it and saw Mr. Salt take a picture, which was the third clue, of the mystery builder’s head.
* This is the third time where a ladder was seen. The first two being Playdates when a ladder was drawn and Blue's Wish Comes True! when Josh and Blue blew out candles on a cake to make a ladder to go over a wall.
* This is the fifth episode where grass was a clue. The first four being The Lost Episode!, Nature, Blue's Big Neighborhood Adventure and Mystery of the Missing Pies.
	+ This is also the third episode where grass was the second clue with The Lost Episode! and Nature being the first. However, in Blue's Big Neighborhood Adventure and Mystery of the Missing Pies, it was the first clue.
* Steve wore Groucho glasses like he and Mailbox did in What's So Funny? and they were quiet at first and laughed themselves silly.
* Steve had an email for Josh like how Steve and Blue had a letter from Magenta in What Does Blue Want to Do with Her Picture? and Blue's Big Holiday and Josh had an email from Lola in Sleepy Singalong with Blue. Also Mailbox got a letter in Mailbox's Birthday, The Wrong Shirt, Blue's Big Costume Parade, and Mailtime Mystery, Blue got birthday cards in Blue's Birthday and Happy Birthday Blue, the Viewer got a birthday card in It's Your Birthday!, Magenta got an email in Blue's Backyard Sports Spectacular, and Periwinkle got an email in A Blue's Clues Festival of Lights.
* The Mailtime song was sung in a mystery way.
* There is a star, rainbow, swirl, and heart like in Pretend Time, Blue's Collection, Meet Polka Dots!, Sleepy Singalong with Blue, Spring is Here! and Blue's Anywhere Box Surprise when stars were drawn, Blue's ABCs when Steve and Blue read Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Magenta's Thank You Day Surprise when a star was on a banner, Art Appreciation when Steve painted a rainbow on the Pawprint, The Alphabet Train when Joe found a rainbow for the R box, Blue's Rainy Day Rainbow and Blue's Show and Tell Surprise when Josh and Blue saw Rainbow, Our New Neighbor when Josh and Blue encountered Rainbow Puppy, Rainbow Puppy's Skidoo Adventure when Josh, Blue and Rainbow Puppy skidooed to Rainbow World and saw Rainbow again, Night at the Blueseum when Slippery Soap made a mosaic rainbow heart, Nature and Hide and Seek with Blue when shapes and a swirl were drawn, Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper Day, and Blue's Big Baking Show and Magenta's Thank You Day Surprise when hearts were drawn.
* There is a smiley face as well like the ones that Steve and Josh drew in Magenta Comes Over, Playdate with Magenta and Magenta's Case of the Giggles.
* Orange Kitten had sunglasses even though Steve wore his sunglasses in What Does Blue Need? when Steve and Blue helped Starfish find the ocean and Blue Wants to Play a Song Game when Steve and Blue skidooed to the beach to dance to the rhythm of rain with Crabs, wind with Octopi and waves with Herons and saw the third clue on a spider.
* There were 3 orange kittens to choose from like in The Fairy Tale Ball when Prince Charming had 3 girls to find out which of them was Cinderella and the third girl on the right was Cinderella herself same with Orange Kitten on the right.
* Orange Kitten and Purple Kangaroo had info about the third clue being something tall and brown and it was on a tree like in Blue's News and Big News with Blue when Tickety Tock, Shovel, Pail, Mailbox and Sudsy had riddles for Steve and Josh about finding the clues and Tickety Tock said, “The first clue is in the room where you find a spoon,” and it was in the kitchen on Mr. Salt, then Shovel and Pail, who went on a treasure hunt with Steve, Josh, and Blue to the birdhouse, which was omitted from the remake, and Mailbox, who Shovel and Pail said, “The next clue is on something that makes you sneeze and it’s used in lots of recipes,” and it was Mrs. Pepper and the second clue was on Mrs. Pepper, then Slippery Soap had a message for Sudsy in the chalkboard, which was, “Hi. I miss you. Love, Slippery,” and Sudsy said, “The third clue holds a drink and it was closer than you think,” and it was on a bottle and the answer to Blue’s Clues was Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper having a baby when Blue left three clues on Mr. Salt himself, Mrs. Pepper herself, and a bottle and Steve and Josh thought Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper have a new bottle, and Blue's Surprise at Two O'Clock when after Steve and Blue played the Race Against Time with Grandfather Clock, who made pictures of a refrigerator, sink, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper and Paprika, Grandfather Clock told Steve and Blue to put the pictures together to find the third clue, which was in the kitchen on an ice cube tray.
* Steve, Joe, and Josh already knew Orange Kitten and Purple Kangaroo since Blue's Sad Day, Sad Day with Blue, Blue's Big Holiday, Colors Everywhere! and Blue's Show and Tell Surprise.

	+ This is also the third episode where a tree was the third clue with The Lost Episode! and Building with Blue being the first two. However in What Did Blue See? and Blue's Big Neighborhood Adventure, it was the second clue.
* This marks the sixteenth time where any flower, plant or tree was drawn or being the answer to Blue’s Clues or being a wrong answer. The others being The Grow Show and Growing with Blue when planting a garden was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on dirt, a watering can, and seeds and when Steve and Josh thought Blue wanted to put the seeds and the dirt in the watering can and mix it all up, The Lost Episode!, What Did Blue See?, Nature, Blue's Play, Blue's Rainy Day Rainbow, Blue's Big Neighborhood Adventure, Mystery of the Missing Pies and Building with Blue when flowers, grass, and trees were drawn, Thankful, Thankful with Blue and Blue's Dino Clues when leaves and plants were drawn, Environments when a cactus was drawn, and Let's Plant when a tomato plant was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on the color red, round shapes and a vine.
* Steve said, “You know what you/we need,” and, “you know what that means, you’re/we’re ready for your/our,” and, “let’s think,” like he, Joe, and Josh did in since Snack Time to Joe Gets a Clue, Steve Goes to College to Bluestock and Meet Josh! to present.
* Steve stole Josh’s line and said, “so a tree,” like Joe did when he and Steve sung the Play Blue’s Clues song in Joe Gets a Clue and Steve Goes to College and Steve and Joe even sung, “We can do anything that we want to do,” together and Steve said, “so a tree,” like he did in The Lost Episode! and What Did Blue See? and Steve is watching Josh draw the tree like Miranda did in Magenta Gets Glasses when she watched Steve draw Blue, who was the third clue, and Joe Gets a Clue when Joe watched Steve draw the first and second clue, which was paper and a crayon, and Steve watched Joe draw the third clue, which was a spiral.
* The second and third clue, which were grass and a tree, is being drawn together in a skidoo location like in Joe Gets a Clue when the second and third clue, which were a crayon and spiral, were drawn together in a skidoo location too.
* Steve is skidooing and said, “let’s think,” like he used to in the original Blue’s Clues from Seasons 1-4 from Snack Time to Steve Goes to College except for Magenta Gets Glasses because there was no skidoo location. Also Steve is skidooing with Josh like Periwinkle, Shovel, Mr. Salt and Joe did with Steve in Periwinkle Misses His Friend, Blue's Collection, Café Blue and Joe Gets a Clue, Joe skidooed with Periwinkle, Tickety Tock, Magenta and Sidetable Drawer in The Big Book About Us, Numbers Everywhere!, The Scavenger Hunt and The Fairy Tale Ball and Periwinkle, Magenta, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper and Rainbow Puppy skidooed with Josh in Our New Neighbor, Blue's Mystery Present, Building with Blue, Rainbow Puppy's Skidoo Adventure, Blue's Treasure of Clue Lagoon, Blue and Little Rainbow Riding Hood and Knights of the Snack Table. And Steve got green swirls when he and Josh skidooed due to green being Steve’s favorite color and Josh still had blue swirls due to blue being his favorite color and if Joe were there, he would’ve had purple swirls due to him having a purple shirt since Seasons 5 and 6 of the original Blue’s Clues he kept changing his shirts.
* Steve is thinking with Josh like Miranda and Joe did with Steve in Magenta Gets Glasses and Joe Gets a Clue.
* Steve said the third clue like Blue did in Adventures in Art after Steve said the first and second was a door and window and forgot what the third clue was and Blue said it was a roof.
* Steve gave out a wrong answer with Josh like he did in the first season of the original Blue’s Clues from Snack Time to Blue's News and in the second season of the original Blue’s Clues from Steve Gets the Sniffles to What Experiment Does Blue Want to Try? and What Was Blue's Dream About? to Math!, and even though he stopped giving out wrong answers, Steve did do wrong answers 2 more times in the third and fourth season of the original Blue’s Clues, which were Blue's Big Costume Party and Blocks, and throughout the rest of seasons 2, 3, and 4 of the original Blue’s Clues from Blue's Birthday to What's So Funny?, Inventions to What's Inside?, Blue's Backyard Ballgame Bonanza to Joe Gets a Clue. It was Steve’s first wrong answer since, but Steve stopped giving out wrong answers in the original Blue’s Clues. Joe never gave out wrong answers throughout the fifth and sixth seasons of the original Blue’s Clues from Steve Goes to College to Bluestock. Also Steve already drew the clues, which were over, water, and a cliff, in Blue's Treasure of Clue Lagoon when he did the Mapbook’s voice.

Also, Steve used his notebook in Seasons 1-4 of the original Blue’s Clues from Snack Time to Joe Gets a Clue and even though in Steve Goes to College, Steve only took out his notebook and didn’t draw in it and he had his notebook one last time in Blue's First Holiday.
* Also Steve, Joe, Josh and Blue are eating outside like Steve and Blue did in Signs when the picnic table was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on a green light, a door with an arrow and a table.
