Even under these circumstances, Mickey is still reluctant to label their relationship and tells Jimmy to ask her for something else. This gag is brought up again in Season Two when it's discovered that Sabrina is seeing another girl. When she refuses to say she's a lesbian, Mickey chastises her generation for having an aversion to labels.

The Mick / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Mick / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: "Cake is for closers." is a clear reference to "Coffee is for closers." from the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. Chip's public trial at school in which he's pressured to expose his co-conspirators and thus incur their wrath is based on the premise of Scent of a Woman. Mickey starts quoting Al Pacino's character during her statement.

The Mick / int_d9cf40fa	type	Screw This, I'm Outta Here
The Mick / int_d9cf40fa	comment	Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Poodle and her husband flee the country to escape the feds at the end of the pilot, landing Mickey with the kids indefinitely. Mickey attempts to pull this in the second episode by calling in the kids' paternal grandparents to watch over them instead, but has a change of heart after realizing just how pathetic her old life is.

The Mick / int_e7fd5cdc	comment	Brain Bleach: Chip's lacrosse team gets sent a photo of a naked woman with a unicorn tattoo and the face cropped out. Chip spends quite a bit of time fantasizing about this faceless woman, until he sees that Sabrina has such a tattoo in the same place. He immediately runs for the nearest trash can to throw up. Sabrina gets to be the same way when she finds out that her brother and the entire lacrosse team saw her naked.

The Mick / int_efa2d938	type	Homage Shot
The Mick / int_efa2d938	comment	Homage Shot: In one scene, Mick tries to stop the relationship between her new friend and Jimmy from dating during a wedding. She causes a scene from an interior balcony. This is a nod to The Graduate. Of course, it's more comic because Micky falls one and a half stories and she is pretty overdramatic for breaking up a relationship during a wedding.

The Mick / int_f42f96fa	comment	Would Hit a Girl: When Jimmy is attacked by an entire high school girls soccer team, he begs them to relent, then starts firing back with full-strength haymakers while apologizing profusely. When Mick tries to teach Chip about her ways of stealing and being a con artist, she asks him to hit her so she will look more natural in the environment. She tells Chip not to go easy on her because she is a woman. Chip punches her so hard that she flips over a table and lands head first to the ground before she can finishes her sentence.

They drink a few shots, Sabrina laughs off her attempt to drink her under the table, drinks a few more... and then has to sit down because Mickey spiked it with six different sleep drugs.
