- The first item on Ted's pro-con list is hidden by his pen but visible in another shot as money; the pro column is empty because Billy himself is the pro.
- Jokes follow about extra cons in a director's cut and about Phyllis walking into the hallway naked.
- Whether Ted and Phyllis actually had dinner is questioned, given the ashtray and flat wine by the bed.
- Whether Billy's future romances all revolved around fried chicken after meeting Phyllis is asked.
- Norman's future after being put on the big account is imagined as bright.
- What Ted actually does is unclear, creative director or vice president; his portfolio suggests a Don Draper-type role.
- How long until Joanna changed her mind again, perhaps by the time she got upstairs, is previewed as an unanswerable question.
- Whether Jane Alexander's character was really a good friend is noted as another unanswered question.
