Trivia: There is a scene where Shawn, Gus, and Vivian are sliding in an open hallway trying to hide from the orderly who is taking Bernie on the elevator to his lobotomy at the mental facility. The scene is a total re enactment of The Breakfast Club movie scene where Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, and Anthony Michael Hall are sliding in an open hallway trying to hide from Dean Paul Gleason when they broke out of detention. Molly Ringwald guest stars in this episode too. (00:34:15)
Trivia: When Danny Glover tells James Roday "I'm too old for this crap", it is a slightly cleaner version of the catchphrase he uses in the Lethal Weapon movie series. In the movie he says "this shit". (00:25:20)
Trivia: When Shawn and Gus ask Henry about previous residents of Lassie's condo who've died mysteriously, the first person Henry mentions is named Ray Brauer, which was the name of the dead kid in "Stand By Me."
Trivia: Bernie Bethel reprises his role as a mental patient in this episode. It is reminiscent of his role as a mental patient in One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest where he played Billy Bibbit.
Chosen answer: "Psych: The Musical" was supposed to air during the regular season 7 schedule, before Chief Vick is suspended and Jules discovers Shawn's lie, but the network decided to push it back to air as a special episode, sort of as a tie in with the holiday season and a lead in to season 8, which was to begin only a couple of months later.
