Trivia[]
- Recycle Bins, Sidetable Drawer, Mailbox, and Grandma Cayenne did not appear at the end of the episode because Mr. Salt was very busy.

- There is no skidoo segment in this episode.
- At one point, when Steve is telling us what to say, Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper are in the scene within earshot.
- They must not have been paying attention since they did not notice they were being talked about.
- This is the second episode where there was a clue at Mr. Salt and a clue at Mrs. Pepper. The first was in "Blues News" as separate clues.
- Throughout this episode (and many others), Steve uses sign language. Signs for "now," "thank you," "help," "smart," and "idea" are scattered throughout the program.
- From the family album, one can infer that Grandma Cayenne is the mother of Mrs. Pepper.
- This episode is the first of two on the "Blues Big News: Vol. 2 The Baby's Here!" VHS.
- Blue is a clue again, this time in a drawing of her face.
- In the "Pistas Da Blue" version, during the Thinking Chair segment, when Duarte reads the first clue, he does not look at it coming out of the notebook.
- An instrumental version of "When I Help You" would later be used in subsequent episodes.
- Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper were separate clues in "Blues News" but become clues together in this episode.
- One of the Recycle Bins from "What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things?" returns for a short cameo.
- Kevin looks too big for the chair where he sits after drawing the third clue.
- When everyone shouts "It's Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper day!" Blue's mouth does not move.
- When we first see Tickety Tock, her 12 is usual, but in the next scene, the 12 is different (a flower replacing the number 12).
- After finding the third clue, Steve pulls out his Notebook before the viewers even say it. This could be the only time this happens.
- This is the first episode to use a popular season four Mailtime Segment. It would be used more often starting with "Bugs!" and will have its last use in "Joe Gets a Clue."
- Despite being a David B. Levy episode, the order of the characters was Tickety, Shovel & Pail (mirrored for the only time in a David episode), Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper (proper position, also in "Rhyme Time"), and Mailbox.
- The Heart Clue would later return in "Blues Clues & You!," with the Harp being the main instrument.
- When Steve first talks to Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper, half of his body is cut off.
- When Steve says, "Thanks!" after the viewer says, "I love you!" to him, what he means is "Just kidding!".
