Hearing fireworks, Karen looks out the window and sees Wanda's on fire. Outside the Ruby, Oscar arrives and tells Wanda his experience with fireworks, including strapping one to Brent when he was a child. It's 11:38.

    As Davis recklessly lights one firework with another, Wanda tells him to stop since he's ruining her reputation for precision as to the time of the fireworks. Seeing Davis has lit all her fireworks, Wanda tells Oscar to get his and dry them out. In the Ruby, Karen still can't get Emma or Lacey to sign Brent's card. Smelling something weird, they're shocked to find Oscar baking his fireworks in the Ruby's oven. He removes them since they're done. Haven woken Wes up, at the Liquor store, Brent asks for a 40 year old Scotch. Wes has one, but it's $450, too much for Brent. Hank offers to pay for it with his truck but Wes jokes that another $400 would be owed. Brent steps in and pays for the bottle much to Hank's relief.

    •Emma's inability to draw is spoofed again. ("Hero Sandwich")

    •This is the final appearance of Wes Humboldt and his only appearance in Season 5. Hank jokes that he thought Wes died or moved to Winnipeg. This is a reference to Mike O'Brien, who portrays Wes, being busy portraying Lorne Goldstein on the show Less Than Kind which is set in Winnipeg.

    •This is the only episode shot entirely at night. The first time a scene was filmed at night occurred when Wanda and Hank viewed a meteor shower through Wanda's telescope. ("Telescope Trouble")

    •Emmy Award-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland of the popular American drama 24, makes a cameo appearance. Though he has starred in prominent American shows (such as 24 and Designated Survivor), and was born in London, England, Sutherland was raised primarily in Canada. His mother, legendary actress Shirley Douglas, has an off-camera, speaking cameo, as herself. She previously appeared as Peg. ("Trees a Crowd")

    •This is one of two episodes in which the interior of Corner Gas isn't seen. The other is when everyone recalls going to the Grey Cup game. ("I Love Lacey")

    •The crew battled the elements during the filming as the cast's breath can be seen, due to the cold temperatures. When Oscar sets off a firework too close to his left ear, it is raining steadily.

    "Anyway, now I get to watch Hank squirm all night while I wait to drink that succulent Scotch. I can't imagine a better birthday present to myself."

    ―Brent

    "Do you want to saute some gasoline while you're at it? "

    ―Lacey to Oscar

    "No, I've always been here. You guys just didn't seem too interested in calling me."

    ―Wes
