- TriviaAlthough Wally and Beaver's bathroom is the venue for many of the scenes in this episode, no sign of a toilet appears. TV networks were still loath to show a toilet or even mention toilets in 1960. The first time a toilet, albeit only the sound of it flushing, appears on TV occurs in All in the Family (1971). The water tank of Beaver and Wally's toilet does appear in season 1's episode Captain Jack (1957) as the two boys look for a hiding place for their pet alligator, but that is the only time any part of the toilet or any reference to a toilet occurs in the series, or anywhere, for that matter, on TV for at least another 10 years.
- GoofsWhen Wally walks to the sink there is milk in his glass. When he gets there it's gone.
- Quotes
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver: [Beaver is visiting Larry, and we find the boys in Larry's sister's bedroom] We shouldn't be in here, should we, Larry?
Larry Mondello: It's all right. My sister's out. She went to the museum with a girlfriend.
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver: Oh. Does she like museums?
Larry Mondello: No, but my mother says she'll never get a man mopin' around the house.
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver: Well, I've never been in a girl's room before.
Larry Mondello: Not even your mother's?
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver: [slightly annoyed] My mother's not a girl!
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver: [the boys explore the dressing table] Hey, Larry, what's this?
Larry Mondello: My sister's always puttin' this junk on her hair, so it shouldn't be crummy.
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver: What's this, Larry?
Larry Mondello: That's perfume, to make her smell good, and these are beauty cremes she's always smearin' on her face.
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver: Boy, it sure is a lot of trouble bein' a girl.
Larry Mondello: It is when you look like my sister.

Wally learns about this arrangement after the fact, and for some reason he decides to help Beaver hide Larry. This seems out of character for the usually level-headed Wally. In the meantime, Mrs. Mondello has phoned the Cleavers about the situation and told them to be on the lookout for Larry. How long can Larry successfully hideout in Beaver's bathroom? Beaver and Wally's alligator managed to hide there long enough to reach one foot in length. So I'd say watch and find out.
Poor Larry and his dysfunctional home. His father is only rarely - actually twice - spotted. The rest of the time he's elsewhere on business. And even with her son a runaway, Mrs. Mondello has time to complain about her daughter being unmarried, as though that is the cause of all of her problems, even with Larry. It can't be easy having her as a mom.
There's no Eddie Haskell sighting this week, but Wally does discuss him second hand as the planner of this Saturday's activities. He asks Wally to join him over at the high school gym to watch the girls try out for cheerleader because Eddie says that when the girls don't make the squad they will become hysterical and cry. Whether it is that Eddie enjoys watching people fail or he thinks he can swoop in and be a shoulder to cry on for some vulnerable girl is not stated. It would be typical Eddie for it to be the former, and it would be rather creepy for it to be the latter.
