In this episode, Christy's (Anna Faris) teenage daughter, Violet, gives her baby up for adoption. Several years earlier on the comedy sitcom Friends episode "The Last One, Anna Faris played the unwed teenage mother who gave up her babies for adoption to Chandler and Monica.
Baxter mentions to his son that he "was supposed to be a voice in a Pixar movie but things don't always work out." Matt Jones (the actor playing Baxter) did do a voice in a Pixar movie; he did, in fact, become the voice of Drip in Planes: Fire & Rescue (produced by DisneyToon Studios), a spin-off of Pixar's Cars franchise, which released in July of 2014. Given that this episode aired in April of the same year, it's likely that this is an Easter-egg type of promotional nod to the soon-to-premier film. Jones also voices the character Kyle in the 2015 Dreamworks movie "Home."
