• The three rules of motherhood, according to Clarissa:
  1. Must love her daughter no matter what.
  2. Must let her daughter do whatever she wants.
  3. Must love her daughter no matter what. (When rule #2 leads to trouble.)

  See DYN: Various lists for other aspects of a ``parent's job description''.

• Clarissa's abbreviation ``TMT'' for ``Teenage Mom Trauma'' is but one example of abbreviations in CEIA. See DYN: Various lists for some others.
• Clarissa asks Sam ``What's the 4-1-1?'' in this episode. This is the same thing Clarissa asked us in the opening scene of ``School Picture'' (#102) and what Jody asked Clarissa later in that same episode, and what Eve Biderberg says when she starts to talk like Clarissa in ``Hero Worship'' (#146).
• The line, ``Go ahead -- test me, Clarissa,'' switches from Clarissa's voice to Janet's.
