- After scamming Jimmy out of his quarter, Eddy decides to have ED of all people to hold onto it for safe keeping. Predictably, Ed uses it to pay to ride on a rocket car ride. Eddy even lampshades his lack of judgement by saying "What am I, nuts?!" when Edd reminds him of the fact.
- In the episode’s conclusion, Rolf offers him the “real money tree seed” and he agrees without hesitation, in which he accepts the “seed” (a bolt) and enthusiastically plants and waits for it to grow without even realizing that he has been scammed once again.
