- The episode's title is a play on words of "salted nuts".
Goofs[]
- Character error
- Right after Doug shoots himself, Carrie calls. Doug picks up the phone and goes to push the button for the line that Carrie is on. When he does so he misses the button on the phone and instead he touches the wall.
- Crew or equipment visible
- When Doug is in the hospital waiting room, as he is first about to sit down, a white camera briefly enters the field of view on the far right of the screen by the reception desk.
- Revealing mistakes
- While Deacon is driving Doug to the hospital, you can see out of the driver window and it looks like traffic is driving horizontally towards Deacon's truck. Also from the same view, you can see a palm tree at one of the cross streets. There are no palm trees in queens
- When the doctor removes the staple, Doug is clearly wearing shorts and the doctor is not in the scene.
