* NostalgiaFilter: At play with how Wicky and Maggie remember the former's 30th birthday. Wicky has fond memories of partying with his friends at what seems to have been an outdoor rave, although he was upset that Maggie never showed up. Maggie, though, ''was'' there (albeit from a distance) and remembers it as a small group of drunk (and possibly also high) guys running around in a field acting like they were at a rave; seeing how pathetic they were is hinted at as being a reason for why she left him.
