Trivia
In the flashback we learn that Fran saw Maxwell on TV telling how he almost was about to do "musical with a bunch of people running around dressed as cats." Luckily his secretary Miss Babcock talked him out of it. The musical is, of course, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, which debuted in London on 11 May 1981. Also, The Blue Lagoon (1980) has just been a hit and it is summer, so the flashback must take place in 1980. In the flashback Fran was 16 or 17. So in the actual episode, she is probably 32.

Goofs
In flashbacks, Val and Fran discuss how they will con Sylvia into letting Fran go to the kibbutz by claiming they want to connect with "the ancient [Jewish] heritage of our people". However, numerous episodes of the series firmly establish that Val is Italian and Roman Catholic, not Jewish, and thus has no ancient Jewish heritage to connect with.

Quotes
Maxwell Sheffield: It's amazing. Every time I ask you to do something, you always manage to screw it all up.
Fran Fine: And yet, you continue to ask me! You need help, Mister.
