Episode Notes
- This episode is the finale for Season 1.
- The series had not yet been picked up for a second season, so introducing the ending sequence with “On the next season of Arrested Development” was a gamble. Similarly, the "On the next Arrested Development" segment was included in "Pilot" before the show had been picked up.
- Season 2's finale will follow this running joke and end with "On the next season of Arrested Development," too.
- On the DVD set, this episode is titled "Let Them Eat Cake," because the whole family is on the Atkins diet and is not eating carbohydrates; in fact much of the cast was also on the diet, and spitting out carbohydrate foods between takes.
- On the next...: "The family grapples with the news they had just heard, Maeby's life gets a little more complicated, and Kitty helps George, Sr. escape."

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or notes:
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“The soft complaining FLUTE
In dying Notes discovers
The Woes of hopeless Lovers,
Whose Dirge is whisper’d by the warbling LUTE.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
