## Trivia

* Despite releasing in 2023, this episode (along with a good chunk of season 1) takes place in 2022.
	+ This episode takes place on February 13 - 14 2022.
* This is the first episode to focus on Lila.
* Even though there's a 14 minute Halloween special and a 19 minute Christmas Pilot, this is the first official episode of the actual series.
* Part 1 is the first episode to surpass 100 views.
* This is technically the first 2 parter of the series as the episode had to be split due to Li Li's old computeer making it hard for her to make videos over 20 minutes.
* This was intended to come out late February/early March 2022, but for multiple reasons like stage fright, technical difficulties and mental health, it made it come out in 2023.
* This was originally going to be one big 44+ minute episode, but due to Li Li's current computer at the time being unable to export a video over 20+ minutes,  it had to be split in 2 parts.
	+ This is the longest episode to date clocking in at 59 minutes.
* This is the third episode in a row focused on a holiday.
* This episode reveals that Lila hates Valentines day.
	+ Additionally, this episode reveals that Emma's birthday is after Valentines Day (February 15th).
* Emma's 19th Birthday is at the end of part 2, meaning she's 18 throughout the episode(s)

* This is the last episode to be filmed a year prier to it's release.
* On Island Life's 1 year anniversary, Li Li posted the full episode in it's entirety in 720p now having a new computer to make videos on.

## Continuity

* One of the Halloween shorts is shown via flashback confirming that (some of them) are cannon.

## Behind the scenes

* In Li Li's actual game file, Emma really didn't get any Valentines on Valentine's Day 2022 (Most likely because she didn't play as her in a while) so she made it a part of the episode while it was still being written. Funnily enough in 2023, this happens to not only Emma again, but Tyler.

## References

**Bluey** - When Lila gets Walker's name wrong, she Cycles through a few names before getting frustrated and going “Grr whatever your name is!”  this is a reference to the bluey  flashback episode fairy tale in which  Bandit's father  cycle through a few names before going “whatever your  name is”.

* **Nintentalk** - When Lila is going through names, one of those names she says are "Pat". which is Nintentalk's real name (**Pat**rick)

**Back at the Barnyard** - The end of the scene where Tyler gets his flower stolen  is a parody of a scene from The Back at the Barnyard episode "arcade of Doom”  in which the characters give away their z-box 360 to a poor kid only to reveal that that poor kid conned them out of their game system and drive away with his mom.
