Notes

• The Gang Starr song the episode is named after is "Take it Personal", from their debut album Daily Operation. The song expresses distaste for those who were once friends but not anymore. It's seen in the episode with Luke's fight against Diamondback, his half-brother and former best friend, and the revelation of Reva's secrets that cause Luke to get over her.

Trivia

• One of the other news stories in the archives Misty looks through details the commendation of a Martin Brown. Also detailed in the article are a thrust capacitor, a high school student named Mac Fly, and the location Mill Valley. All of these are references to the sci-fi trilogy Back to the Future.
