Later when Skinner finds the Honda symbol in Nelson's locker you can see there are no holes in the symbol. There is a screw in one of the holes indicating the symbol would have holes in its corners to hold it down.
Whilst Superintendent Chalmers notices the Honda symbol missing from his car, there are four holes in the corner of the leftover symbol.When the shot moves to outside, there isn't any coleslaw on any of the windows. When Jimbo and Co are 'coleslawing' Skinner's house, he wakes up when coleslaw hits his window.After discovering the missing "H", Skinner refers to Nelson as Bart when telling him to return the items he stole.The hole in Nelson's locker appears to increase in size.They both replace each other in the same seat (i.e.: Ralph is nowhere to be found in the shots with Üter and vice versa.) In a following shot of the entire class, once again from the front, and it's Üter again. However, in the next shot, it's Ralph Wiggum. Üter sits next to Milhouse Van Houten in this shot. In Lisa's music class, there is a wide shot of the entire class.This episode marks the first occurrence of Lisa getting detention.However, her first kiss was in "Bart the General". Lisa claims that her first kiss was in this episode.Lisa's gets her first love in this episode, even though in " Lisa's Wedding", the fortune teller said Hugh Parkfield would be her first love (although this may have been a lie) and in " Dude, Where's My Ranch?", Lisa said Luke was her first love.It is revealed that Janey has a crush on Milhouse, and Üter has a crush on Janey.In the promos for this episode, there is a scene where Lisa and Nelson ride a bike together.The boys clothing store to which Lisa takes Nelson is " Wee Monsieur," a sound-alike and play on "Oui Monsieur.".At one point, Lisa says that Milhouse likes " Vaseline on toast," a possible reference to the song " She Don't Use Jelly" by the psychedelic alt-rock band The Flaming Lips - "She'll make ya toast/she don't use butter/she don't use cheese/she don't use jelly/or any of these/she uses Vaseline." However, one of the writers in the commentary says the idea came from when he was in school and actually knew a kid who actually ate Vaseline on toast at school.When Nelson is playing the guitar, he does a move similar to Angus Young's (and Chuck Berry's) "Duck Walk." He also mimics Pete Townshend's "Windmill.".Homer's doughnut "sprinkles" are made up of 13 M&M's (5 brown, 4 light orange, and 4 yellow), 3 Jolly Ranchers, a Twizzler, and a Mounds bar.The episode title is both a play on the phrase "Date with destiny", and a reference to the 1985 film Back to the Future, where George McFly mixes up the words "destiny" and "density".
