Trivia

 * The police officer in this episode says that he wanted to be a professional drummer, but his dad told him that the chance of that happening would be one in a million - which is similar to what happened to Austin and Ally.
 * When Austin fell in the sand after trying to help Ally open up the chair, there's sand on his chest, but when we see a bigger shot of him when he stands up, there's sand on his shoulders, arms, elbows, and back.
