** Mylene is singing in a church, while Ezekiel is on piano...with a cassette recorder.
** Dizzee's Establishing Character Moment is when he's with other graffiti artists on the train and talks about Shao 007‘s latest piece.
** Ra-Ra is supporting Zeke's big decision to ask Mylene out, and telling Yolanda about this, who believes Mylene has bigger plans than to entertain herself with a childhood sweetheart.
