Note
"How Stella Got Her Grove Back II" is the movie on at the cinema.
Lois goes shopping in Bullseye's Markets.
Peter bought Lois a sword for her birthday.
The guy who later marries the Don's daughter and attempts to kill Lois walks past Cleveland's Deli.
The mobster takes Peter into the "Mobster's Bargrill".
Lois is reading the "Quahog Informant" at the breakfast table.
When Peter and Lois go to the Don's daugther's wedding and ask him for a favor, instead of playing with a cat as he did earlier he is instead grating cheese.
When Lois suggests that they ask the Don to call off the hit at his daughter's wedding, she says to Peter, "Didn't you see the Godfather?" But in the episode Untitled Griffin Family History Peter makes a long announcement about how he never finished the movie Godfather. That's why it took so long for him to understand what they were supposed to ask the Don. But then again it could be because he never understands anything the very first time.
