Jackson and Ramona attend Van Atta Middle School. Don Van Atta was an executive producer on Full House (1987).
First appearance of John Brotheton Dr. Matt Harmon.
The episode's title is a reference to The Great Escape.
While attempting to convince Kimmy that she needs to punish Ramona, DJ holds up her right forefinger and says that that specific finger is 90% of parenting. This is in reference to a lesson she taught herself while attempting to make Michelle go to sleep in an episode of the first season of Full House.
Stephanie has an odd look on her face after Jackson talks about erupting his volcano implying he was doing something inappropriate.
