Read more about the different versions of the material in this episode on Retakes.

Rio is unfaithful (or he thinks he is) to Jerrica for the first time by kissing Jem. He directly says "No, this is wrong, I can't hurt Jerrica like this".

Kimber is jealous that Jem gets all the attention.

Kimber was going to reveal Jem's identity, if Shana hadn't stopped her. She thinks Rio has the right to know.

Kimber and Rio has one of their talks. They have another one in "Glitter And Gold", and a third in "Hollywood Jem Part 2: And the Winner Is...".

In France we get to see the Eiffel tower, Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, and Arc de Triomphe.

In the music video of "Twilight In Paris", Jem walks by places and stores called "L'Apollina", "Lapin Mill", "Cafe Monteria" and "Cetsib".

The british band Duran Duran is mentioned.

In the Misfits hang out club, there is a girl that looks exactly like Ashley except she has light blonde hair instead of yellow.

According to the Misfits: A Misfit never asks for anything, a Misfit takes whatever they want, and a Misfit never says "please" or "thank you".

When Jem and the Holograms return from France and drive into town where they see all the Misfits posters, there's a man walking by with a stereo playing music. Apparently this is a song by Iron Maiden called "Flash Of The Blade" from the album Powerslave. But this piece of music was removed in the retakes and replaced by the Misfits song "Makin' Mischief".

Kimber's favorite radio station is KMAX.

Jem and the Holograms are driving by some stores back in LA, like "Cleaners", "Records", "KTOAD".

In the beginning of the music video of "Gettin' Down To Business" the Holograms put up a Jem poster on a wall, and right next to it to the right, is a poster of someone that very much looks like Becky of the Starlight Girls.

On the first album of Jem and the Holograms, the Holograms are not featured on the cover.

Pizzazz slaps Lin-Z. The Misfits aren't allowed back on Lin-Z' show until the episode "Broadway Magic".

Kimber is about to get kidnapped. Like she is in several other episodes.
