When Veronica (Kristen Bell) wakes up in the dorm and steps over Piz, who's sleeping on the floor, he asks her for an egg sandwich. She looks at him and Meryl (Amanda Walsh) and asks "Orange Whip?" This is a reference to John Candy's character in Blues Brothers (1980) when he does the same thing at the concert.
In this episode, Keith (Enrico Colantoni) breaks up with Harmony Chase (Laura San Giacomo) because Veronica (Kristen Bell) doesn't approve of the relationship. It's the second time he ends a relationship in order to please his daughter.

Meryl's (Amanda Walsh) theory about Sully (Michael Grant Terry) accidentally inventing a "laser that can kill people from space" is a reference to the 1985 movie Real Genius (1985) starring Val Kilmer.

When Veronica (Kristen Bell) is found by Logan (Jason Dohring) by her car drugged and with part of her head shaved with some blood spots on her skull, you can tell that the perpetrator did not use a clipper guard. For the other girls that were drugged, attacked and shaved, their heads are not shaved closely that you see spots of blood on their skulls, but left about quarter inch of hair - meaning the perpetrator used a clipper guard.
