## Trivia

* A sneak peek of the Paramount+ exclusive movie "Blue's Big City Adventure" was shown during this episode's premiere.
* This is the first reboot episode where Paprika appears without Cinnamon, but she will not appear again with him in the credits.
* Josh is showing us when he, Steve, and Joe were younger as little kids like how Steve showed Sidetable Drawer, Slippery Soap, Paprika, Tickety Tock, Blue, and himself when they were babies in The Baby's Here! and like how Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper did in Blue's First Holiday (Blue’s Clues origin) when there were 2 movies of Steve when he was little, and Joe, Sidetable Drawer, Tickety Tock, Shovel, Pail, Mailbox, Slippery Soap, and Blue when they were babies and how they played the very first game of Blue’s Clues.
* Young Joe is wearing his purple shirt like he did in Dress Up Day, Story Wall, Blue's Predictions, Magenta's Messages, Look Carefully..., Blue's Big Car Trip, Playdates, The Fairy Tale Ball, Bluestock (Original/Remake), Meet Blue's Baby Brother, Meet Josh!, 123's with Blue, Happy Birthday Blue, Blue's Night Before Christmas, Blue's Mystery Present, and Mailtime Mystery but in Blue's First Holiday, Steve still wore his green-striped shirt and brown pants like he did in Snack Time to Joe Gets a Clue, and Joe was a baby and wore his orange shirt like he did in Playing Store, Patience, Contraptions!, Blue's Big Band, The Alphabet Train, Meet Polka Dots!, Our Neighborhood Festival, Blue's First Holiday, Blue's Wishes, and Joe's Clues. The pictures in Blue's baby book are taken after the events of the flashback sequences of Blue's First Holiday. This time, Joe is shown as a child instead of a baby. Also, young Joe seemed to look a little older than young Steve did in the baby pictures. This might be considered a goof of the episode itself.
* This episode reveals that Blue got Polka Dots as a present from Josh.
* The birthday is the same with the blue and rainbow balloons like the ones in Blue's Birthday, Happy Birthday Blue, It's Your Birthday! and Our New Neighbor.
* Eyes were drawn again like in Spring is Here!.
