Trivia

• This episode, and its spinoff series, both premiered with new episodes on the same night and shared similar storylines:
  • A drunk driver causing nearly fatal incidents for the main characters; On 9-1-1, it was Albert Han, while on 9-1-1:Lone Star it was Judd and Grace,

Continuity

• This episode is set 9 and a half months past What's Next?, as proven that Sue mentions Maddie is 9 and a half months pregnant in one of the previews.
  • That said, it has been 4 and a half months since the beginning of the season, as that was set 5 months past the season three finale.
• May receives a friend request on Facebook from Laila, one of the girls who had bullied her into attempting suicide back in "Let Go". Athena then arrested her partly for possession of weed at a party in "Worst Day Ever", and partly as a feeling of retaliation.
