Trivia

The Show

• This episode was filmed a year before it aired and months before the filming of subsequent episodes. This leads to some notable physical differences in the cast. Even Robbie's puppet Rex looks different than in the rest of the series.

• In the first half of the episode, the segues showing Tori's updates are being done on what is presumably Twitter (the name is never fully revealed). In the latter half, as in the rest of the series, she is using Hollywood Arts' site The Slap.

Behind the Scenes

• This episode originally aired as an extended version. Repeats have been edited down for the standard runtime.

Goofs

• During the Twitter segue shots, you can see "Following" is misspelled "Folowing" both times.
