Trivia[]
- The title is said twice within the episode, by Koenig when referring to Simmons' chemistry know-how, and by Enoch when referring to his knowledge in drink mixing.
- When Koenig hires Enoch, he says theirs is "the beginning of a marvelous friendship." This quote is a take on the last lines of the 1942 film Casablanca ("Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"), with the substituted word acting as a reference to Marvel.
- The episode end with an in memoriam to former crew member Barbara Gutrman, who recently passed away.
- On October 29, 1929, the stock market crashed more than 75 points. The Great Depression initially started from August 1929 and went onto March 1933. The crash was followed by bank failures, agricultural over-production, and drought.
