* InspirationNod: The episode's basis on ''Film/StrangersOnATrain'' is acknowledged when Gumball first proposes the pact. Principal Brown mistakes Gumball's plan to point out their girlfriends' flaws for [[MurderIsTheBestSolution straight up murdering them]] (which was the deal in the film).
-->'''Gumball''': Yeah, I take care of Simian and you take care of Penny, right?\\
'''Brown''': But it'll have to [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident look like an accident]]!\\
'''Gumball''': '''What!?''' I meant take care of the laugh and breath thing!\\
'''Brown''': Oh yes, that's a much less illegal idea!
