Lila is wearing her outfit from "Ms. Perfect" at the beginning of this episode.
Patty sees an orthodontist.
Stinky owns a digital watch.
Patty works at P.S. 118's library.
Patty asks Helga if she and Arnold have a "thing for each other" in which Helga protests. Patty replies that Arnold is "kind of cute" and Helga replies "If you like football heads..." They then smile at each other. This implies that Patty now knows about Helga's one-sided crush on Arnold.
Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons and brother-in-law of Hey Arnold! creator Craig Bartlett, was given "Special Thanks" in the ending credits.
This was the very first Special Thanks of the series. From this point on, nearly every credit sequence would have a special thanks at the end.
The storyboard cover (which was first shown in this video by YouTuber, Andre "Black Nerd" when he was visiting Nickelodeon's new Burbank office) depicts Helga and Patty in a boxing match with Patty biting Helga's ear (a reference to the infamous "Bite Fight"). Arnold is seen as a referee, Rhonda in a bikini holding the storyboard credits, and Gerald watching the match. The episode is also called "Helga and Big Girl" in it.
