Danielle Harris (Molly Tilden) is one of many alumni from the Halloween films franchise including Joseph Gordon-Levitt (H20), her costars from Halloween 5: Jonathan Chapin (Tina's boyfriend Mike) in season one episode "Mall Story" and Harper Roisman (the mountain man) in season two episode "Guilt By Disassociation," and her costar from Rob Zombie's Halloween 2, Meagan Fay, who played the Conners' last neighbor that the Tildens replace: Kathy Bowman, Roseanne's nemesis during season four.
This title is a take on the title of the movie "Pretty in Pink" starring Molly Ringwald and John Cryer.
Danielle Harris makes her debut on the series in the recurring role of Molly on the same date that her second feature film and Halloween film premiered three years earlier on Friday, October 13th, 1989, for her last appearance as Jamie Lloyd until she returned to the movie franchise in 2007 and 2009 in a different role for Rob Zombie's remake and its sequel, Halloween and Halloween 2, recreating the iconic Annie Brackett from the original.
Mara Hobel ("Charlotte") played Christina Crawford in the movie "Mommie Dearest." The previous episode to this one is titled "Mommie Nearest."
