Continuity

  • It is the second time Marshall is involved in an incident while opening a bottle with cork. The first one is shown on "Pilot" with Lily. The champagne cork hit Lily's left eye as well as Wendy the Waitress'. The sound of the cork popping and Marshall's subsequent gasp/yell of surprise are from the first episode.
  • In the imaginary sequences Marshall imagines Lily and him with four boys; Lily imagines Marshall and her with two girls. These are the desired number of children as expressed by Marshall and Lily respectively in "Arrivederci, Fiero".
  • Barney, characterized in several episodes as a compulsive gambler, is seen winning money from a bet with Robin.
  • When Future Ted is telling his children about Marshall's three biggest mistakes in his life, the first was trying to fly off the garage at his parents' house in Minnesota, the second one is when he shaved his head in "Something Borrowed". Buying the apartment in this episode was the third.
  • Meg shows up again in the episode "The Rough Patch" and "The Bracket" as Crazy Meg, Barney's ex whom Lily summons to break Robin and Barney up.
  • The season 6 episode "Blitzgiving" calls back this episode when Marshall and Lily's home is unavailable for Thanksgiving due to the worse than usual smell from the sewage treatment plant.
  • Lily's bad aim at the toilet is first hinted in the episode where Lily leaves the toilet seat up possibly for better aim and this problem is mentioned in the episode "Legendaddy".

    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “Only the family, society’s smallest unit, can change and yet maintain enough continuity to rear children who will not be “strangers in a strange land,” who will be rooted firmly enough to grow and adapt.”
    —Salvador Minuchin (20th century)

    “There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
