## Trivia

* For an unknown reason, Rachel has her hair up in two plaits in this episode, which come lose when she walks home from Triquan in the rain.
* There is a running gag in this episode that mentions the "Swedish restaurant upstairs" to Rachel after she prepares to make Swedish food for Maze. This line is stated by Justice, Soot, and Maze (in that order), respectively.
* This is the first episode where Justice, Gary and Dean share a subplot together.
* This episode marks the first appearance of the Chris' Kebabs Dude.
* A deleted scene from this episode shows Rachel pre-preparing Maze's Swedish food at home and having Justice try it. The scene was actually broadcasted in early runs of the show, but has since been deleted most likely due to time constraints.

## Goofs

* A running gag in this episode makes a reference to the "Swedish restaurant upstairs", however if one looks at the exterior of Triquan, there is no "upstairs" component.
* It is unrealistic for Rachel to run out on her shift at Triquan with out telling Julianna.
	+ She could've spoke to her on the phone off-screen, however it is unlikely that she would've let her leave anyway.
* For most of the episode Rachel has her hair up in two plaits, however when she is seen walking home from Triquan her hair is down. Logically speaking, her hair should've had a wavy appearance as well, but it didn't.
* The ending of this episode is never resolved; Rachel seems completely fine in the next episode. In fact, the Maze storyline doesn't get brought up again until Wild Relationship, which is more than fourty episodes later.
