Trivia[]

  • Brandon goes to talk to Dylan after learning from Val that Dylan's doing hard drugs. Dylan kicks his friend to the curb, but Brandon stays after Dylan passes out to watch over him.
  • Andrea's paternal grandfather was from Minsk and Hasidic Jewish.
  • Clare and David sleep together for the first time, in the desert.
  • Griffin calls Donna a slut and she ends things, obviously.
  • Donna tells Ray that she's not having sex until marriage.
  • When Valerie is told that her mother is checking herself into a clinic for a few days, she asks "who's going to take care of Curt and Susie?" Curt and Susie are possibly Valerie's siblings, but there is no mention of them in other episodes.

PRODUCTION NOTES

  • Episode writer Johannesen was adamant when writing the episode that Clare and David had to have sex in the satellite dish, but it never came to be[1]
