 * Right after Steve grabs the notebook, Steve and Blue sing a song where Blue pulls out the notebook Steve has in his pocket.
 * At some points in the episode, Steve's hair style changes between scenes.
 * At the end of the episode where the elephants come in, you can see the boom mic at the top of the screen.
 * The elephant wearing a hat, which was already painted earlier, was orange, even though there was no orange paint.
 * It's possible that Blue mixed red and yellow earlier to make orange to paint the elephant.

 * Graham crackers aren't usually stored in the fridge.
 * When Steve asks the chicks where Blue is, nothing is on his head. When the chicks tell Steve where Blue is, she simply appears on his head.
