As I'm watching this episode I copied & pasted "Artistic License" from the Series page & added "One Steve Limit" upon learning there's another Daphne in 1 scene.
Added DiffLines:
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: In this episode, Robin says Mt. Waddington is the highest mountain in Canada. Truthfully Mt. Logan's the tallest peak in that nation. Additionally Mount Waddington isn't even the tallest mountain in British Columbia. (But perhaps "Waddington" sounds [[InherentlyFunnyWords funnier]] than "Logan.")
Added DiffLines:
* OneSteveLimit: Subverted. The Daphne in this episode is just one of Lily & Marshall's daughters in Lily's imagination. This is before we see an existent Daphne in Season 9 who'll be Marshall's driving companion over a few episodes.
