* A lot of the families' immediate plans for the future in the final episode would most likely have been derailed by COVID. [[spoiler: Alex going to Switzerland, Luke going to college, and Manny going off to pursue a film career would have to wait, and they would probably have to isolate with their respective families in the process, and Jay and Gloria would have to cancel their summer trip to Columbia. Meanwhile, Mitch, Cam, Lily and Rexford would touch down in Missouri only for Cam's new job to stall, and for Lily to have to do online schooling]].

* Why was Cam okay with Jay referring to him as "his son's friend"? Cam grew up in rural Missouri, where, despite apparently having a nominally accepting family, still likely would have experienced a lot of intolerance in the community, and comments similar to that were probably normal from his family, in an effort to avoid creating problems, or possibly even to avoid putting him in danger.
** By contrast, Mitchell grew up in suburban Los Angeles, which, despite his difficulty coming out to a father who took some time to accept him, would likely have been a reasonably more tolerant (though far from good) community, enough that he may have felt more comfortable being who he is, and thus less okay with how his father defines him to friends than Cam is.

* In "The Wedding: Part 1," we see Sal in a flashback agreeing to officiate Cam and Mitch's wedding while drinking vodka heavily. Cut forward to the actual wedding, and Sal is at the end of a pregnancy. This means ''Sal was unknowingly drinking while pregnant.''

Added DiffLines:

* In The Musical Man, Haley is thinking of not going to college. Later that season, in See You Next Fall, Haley admits to Alex that she's worried her grades aren't good enough to get into any colleges. She was probably thinking that not going to college would spare her the inevitable heartbreak of being rejected by any school she applied to.

* Haley deals with the news of Dede's death with PostStressOvereating. Considering what is revealed later in that season, it may have also had a WackyCravings element to it.

* The relationship between Haley and Andy mirror that of Claire and Phil, due to their similar traits and dynamics. However, there are more similarities. Claire, like Haley, dated a lot of boys before she met Phil. Most prominently was her boyfriend Robby, who gets introduced in season 2. He is a man-child who is unable to mature from his teenage self, and he drives a limo. In Haley's life, her then-boyfriend Dylan was also immature, dumb and, as we find out, drives a limo. In both women's stories, they get sick of dating jerk boys, and instead fall for sweet, adorable men: Phil and Andy, respectively.

* Meta one but all the special episodes that take place outside their homes like Disneyland? Well, who's the parent of the studio that makes the show? That's right, it's Disney. Which in turns means no messy legal issues when it comes to re-showing these episodes or putting them on DVD, etc. ABC has a history of doing special episodes of their shows in Disney Parks as a form of cross-advertising, going all the way back to Family Matters, Roseanne, and a 2 part Disney World episode of Full House. I'm still rooting for a Heck Family goes to Disney World episode of The Middle...
