Trivia

 * This officially gives the entire series a timeframe--General Hilarity takes place after the events of The Return of Harmony, but before the events of Havoc. Okay, I didn't say it was a good timeframe, but it's still a timeframe.
 * Dmitri appears to know a bit about TV Tropes. He name-drops the trope 'Taken for Granite' and is implied to have mentioned the trope 'Slasher Smile' at some point. It may have rubbed off on Eliza, for she mentions 'Clingy Jealous Girl'.
 * This officially explains one of the VHS tapes littering Eliza's apartment--Of course she'd keep the tapes of Psych, they're one of her closest memories of Dmitri.
 * The title and end are written in the same font used for Eliza's penmanship in Halloween Hijinks. 
 * This is the most we know about any background character, even including the events of And Now for Something Completely Different. We officially know...
 * 1) Dmitri's detailed clothing
 * 2) His full backstory
 * 3) His favorite foods (Rhubarb pie, red-velvet cupcakes, funnel cake, chocolate milk)
 * 4) His favorite TV show (Presumably Psych)
 * 5) His favorite superhero / villain (Deadpool )
 * Near the end, Scarlett and Eliza loosely quote an exchange between Travis Touchdown and Margaret Moonlight from No More Heroes II (The original quote being: "Do you know this song?" "Nope." "How tragic. Then let me teach you.")
 * The author advises against calling Tall Jake, even if she told you all how to do it (more for reference to the people who haven't read Malice or Havoc). Seriously.
