That night it's Halloween, and Don and Betty take Sally, Bobby and Gene trick-or-treating. "Look at this, we've got [[TitleDrop a gypsy and a hobo]]," observes the father who answers their first doorbell. He then looks at Betty and Don. "[[DrivingQuestion And who are you supposed to be?]]"



* MisplacedRetribution: Caldecott Farms has been revealed in an expose as using horse meat to make dog food. No one will buy their products anymore, instead turning to other brands... which, like all dog food at the time, ''are also made of horse meat'', they just haven't had the misfortune of having their operations publicized. (This is fundamentally why Don wants to change the brand's name: it's not just that Annabelle won't change the product, it's that there's no changes that ''could'' be made.)



* TitleDrop: For Halloween, Sally is dressed as a gypsy and Bobby is dressed as a hobo. The first man they visit sort of does this.
--> "Well, hello there. Look at this. We've got a gypsy and a hobo."
