Goof: When Trey called from prison to ask Ryan to pick him up, they neglected to do the accepting the collect charges thing. All prison calls are collect. Plus, I think it was a little late in the day for phone privileges.

Goof: Around 36:20, Summers hands are on Seths neck and then in the next shot are on his shoulders and then in the next shot, they move back to his neck again.

Goof: While the whole gang is having dinner in the last scene of the episode, Sandy is holding a tray of food out and puts it down and right in the next scene it is back in his hands holding it out again.

Summer: Coop you sound extremely girlfriendy right now.
Marissa: Hey I’m just trying to be his friend, which is the part we skipped over last time.

Ryan: I appreciate you driving me down to Chino, but I can take care of this myself. This shouldn't have to be your problem.
Sandy: Hey. If it's a Ryan problem, it's a Cohen problem.

Seth: (to Zach) Hey, man. You came back. People never leave and come back.

Ryan: He's (Trey) getting out of jail tomorrow. Wants me to pick him up in Chino.
Seth: Well, there's that family trip you wanted.
