Trivia

 * Maddie and Diggie break up in this episode.
 * This is the first time we see Maddie really sensitive because she cries when she and Diggie break up.
 * This episode shows several similarities to Flashback A Rooney. For example: Liv is trying to relax at the beginning of both episodes while Maddie is waiting impatiently for something (Flashback A Rooney-Junior Olympics Letter. Flugelball A Rooney-Diggie coming home from Tundrabania), One of the Rooney sisters getting jealous over another character (This episode-Liv getting jealous of Maddie leaving after Liv just got home. Flugelball A Rooney-Maddie being extremely jealous of Diggie and breaking up with him after he wanted to go to Australia after just getting back from Tundrabania). Ironically both episodes aired exactly one year apart.
 * Continued-A-Rooney makes a flashback to this episode.
 * Diggie's Tundrabanian braid, the Harskabeuben is likely a reference to a Jedi's padawan braid in Star Wars, which cannot be cut until a certain condition is met.
