At about 24 minutes into the episode, Harry and Pete spy on a woodpecker and behind them is a framed portrait of President Harry S Truman. Our character Harry and the President share the same exact name.
When Twin Peaks was rerun on the Bravo cable network in 1993, David Lynch wrote new introductions for each episode that were performed by Catherine Coulson as The Log Lady. The one for this episode was thus:
"Food is interesting; For instance, why do we need to eat? Why are we never satisfied with just the right amount of food to maintain good health and proper energy? We always seem to want more and more. When eating too much the proper balance is disturbed, and ill health follows. Of course, eating too little food throws the balance off in the opposite direction, and there is the ill health coming at us again.
Balance is the key. Balance is the key to many things. Do we understand balance? The word 'balance' has seven letters. Seven is difficult to balance, but not impossible - we are able to divide. There are, of course, the pros and cons of division."

Leland sings "Surry with the Fringe on Top" from Oklahoma! (1955). He seems to really like Rodgers and Hammerstein.
