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:
“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Or bid the soul of Orpheus sing
Such notes as, warbled to the string,
Drew iron tears down Pluto’s cheek,
And made Hell grant what love did seek;”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
