Trivia[]
- Lou's appearance in this episode is both an audible over the phone cameo and in person.
- Mitch only has one scene in this episode, making this one have his lowest role yet.
- Olivia appears in this episode via social media and through mention.
- Adam also appears through mention, as Georgie feels sorry that Olivia is putting him through so much pressure about the formal.
- Adam and Georgie would've appeared in this episode if Wyatt and Georgie had gone to the formal, but the latter two chose to ride horses in a sunset to blow off the formal, so we never see the former two in this episode physically.
- This would mean that Lou buying Georgie a perfect dress was a complete waste of time.
- After quitting Extreme Team in Decision Time, Georgie nearly quits horse jumping in this episode, this time due to Val's mistreatment of Amy as Georgie's coach.
- Georgie learns more about her adoptive grandmother in this episode, as Amy mentioned how Georgie stood up to her like Marion did to Amy.
- Georgie realizes that what Wyatt said to her about Dylan in the preceding episode was correct, and the two make up and kiss, possibly foreshadowing a redo in their relationship.
- After thinking about her decision, Jade decides to go forward with the Texas scholarship, and Tim admits he will miss her because of this decision.
- This is also the fifth and final time where she appears in an episode where it falls under the number 2.
- Tim gets really emotional when he says his biggest regret to Marion from above.
- Amy and Lou finally know about what happened at Tim's recent visit with Dr. Virani.
- Lou is deeply affected by this, as she cries into Jack not wanting to lose Tim like she did with Marion.
- It's revealed that Arrow had been put on break and that Dylan would be riding Flame in the next show, which answered Amy's question as to why a Westfield trailer came to Heartland.
- Tim decides to do to Lyndy what he did with Amy when she was a baby: ride on a small horse.
- He also did this with Katie, but on a bigger horse, which made Lou scold at Tim.
