When Logan (Jason Dohring) says Amy's is the best ice cream in town it's a reference to Amy's Ice Cream in Austin, TX where Rob Thomas used to live.
The book Veronica (Kristen Bell) gives to Josh (Jonathan Chase) is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. It about an innocent man sentenced to lifetime in prison.
When Dick (Ryan Hansen) asks Logan (Jason Dohring), "You know a good lawyer?", Logan answers, "I know... a lawyer" as a reference to Cliff McCormack (Daran Norris). Veronica (Kristen Bell) and Wallace (Percy Daggs III) had the same exact exchange in episode 2.12, Veronica Mars: Rashard and Wallace Go to White Castle (2006) when he was in trouble with a hit-and-run.
Robert Ri'chard (Mason) & Jason Dohring (Logan) also worked together on iZombie (2015)
Robert Ri'chard (Mason) also appeared in an iZombie (2015) episode, iZombie: Eat a Knievel (2017). Rob Thomas created both Veronica Mars and iZombie.
The video game Logan (Jason Dohring) and Heather (Juliette Goglia) play throughout the episode is Mario Kart: Double Dash for the Nintendo GameCube. However, the game can't be played via the internet, as Logan insinuates at the end of the episode.
Jonathan Chase (Josh) is the third main cast member from the TV show One on One (2001) to guest star on Veronica Mars. The previous two were Robert Ri'chard (Mason) in Veronica Mars: President Evil (2006), Veronica Mars: Hi, Infidelity (2006), this episode, and Veronica Mars: Mars, Bars (2007); and Kyla Pratt (Georgia) in Veronica Mars: The Wrath of Con (2004).
Heather (Juliette Goglia) dedicates Nick Lachey's song "What's Left of Me" to Veronica (Kristen Bell) on Logan's (Jason Dohring) behalf in hopes of reuniting her and Logan.
The title is a reference to a postmortem which has to do with time following death.
