Mutts and Bolts/Trivia

Trivia

• The name of this episode is a pun of the phrase "nuts and bolts", which means the essential elements of something.
• This episode shows that Kitty has a strong dislike for her mom.
• This is the fourth time that Dudley is dressed like a knight. The first time is in Mom-A-Geddon, the second time is in Time Waits for No Mutt, and the third time is in Bluff Puppy.
• This is the second time that Kitty and Dudley get sick.
• This episode aired on Nickelodeon Latin America and Nickelodeon Brazil before airing in the U.S.
• At the end of the episode, Dudley says that he has "super intelligence" as a result from the last lightning bolt he was hit by. This may mean Dudley will be smarter in later episodes.
• This is the second time that the Brain Scanner is used. The first was Dog Tired.
• According to Dudley's clairvoyance ability, Kitty will be married with Eric in the future. But, when Dudley is about to reveal more information about it, he is interrupted by lightning that causes him to go back to normal.
  • However, Dudley's line "But my name is not Eric" after he is back to normal could possibly hint that he is the one who is going to marry Kitty. The fact that Dudley sounded like he was going to warn Kitty about a major detail concerning who Eric is might hint that he's really a villain or just generally a bad person. However this can't be confirmed until a possible future episode explaining this detail.
