First mention of Lowell's cousin Bevo.
Immediately following the opening credits, there is a shot of air travelers disembarking a Dornier 328, presumably one of the planes in the AeroMass fleet. This is the first time the Dornier 328 has been featured in the series. The Short Brothers SD3-60 that can be seen taxiing in the background was shown previously in Season 2, Episode 20 - "Mother Wore Stripes."
The title of this episode--"Crate Expectations"--is a play on the title of the Charles Dickens' novel "Great Expectations."
