    • Trivia
      Donny keeps calling Luke (Chris Carmack) "Abercrombie & Fitch". This is an inside joke because Carmack's biggest credit before 'The O.C.' was being an Abercrombie & Fitch model.
    • Goofs
      While Marissa and Luke are talking at the Crab Shack on a table, Ryan and Donnie are talking at the bar by the register. When the camera focuses on Marissa and Luke, the spot where Ryan and Donnie are talking, can be seen behind Luke, but there's no sign of Ryan nor Donnie, until the camera focuses again on them.
