Trivia:
Riot thinks he's the perfect man and Jem is the perfect woman.

Rio thinks Minx is beautiful, but he's not interested.

Jem appreciates that Riot likes her mystery, which Rio doesn't.

There is a butler at Gabor mansion.

Spoiler: With Pizzazz chosing Riot over of the Misfits, all four members have been in and out of the Misfits.

The Stingers don't like signing autographs.

There appears to be a My Little Pony reference in this episode, when Ashley trips over a soft animal toy in the shape of a purple unicorn with blue hair.

Riot is a perfectionist and won't wear an outfit with the slightest spot.

Minx thinks Krissie has no talent in painting. Rapture thinks Terri is gullible and silly.

Jerrica owns Starlight Music on her own, Kimber owns nothing of it. Atleast according to Raya who says to Jerrica that it's her company and her decision. This doesn't correspond with what is said in the episode "The Bands Break Up" where Jerrica says that Kimber owns half of Starlight Music.

Spoiler: From this episode and on, Misfits Music is no more, as it's renamed to Stingers Sound.

Spoiler: Riot knows that Eric is completely untrustworthy and he doesn't like or trust Eric, but he thinks he can control him.

Minx also plays guitar.
