Notes

• The Gang Starr song the episode is named after is "DWYCK" (probably meaning Do What You Can, Kid), from their album Hard to Earn. While the song and the episode don't have much in common, there is a blatant reference to the song when Misty is being offered lemonade by Dr. Krasner. Dr. Krasner offers the drink, saying it's a popular drink, and Misty replies saying that it still is. This references the line "Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is" from the song.
