Trivia[]
- The title is a play on the words "What to Expect when you're Expecting" which is said when someone is pregnant.
- At the end of the episode, there is a closeup of April's article as it is being read by Raquel. It turns out that April misquotes Leo's father's statements at the debate. It reads: "...right now: my own. And he's -- Leo's not well. And as horrible as it is to watch someone I love struggle and suffer, I need to be right there with him." It goes on to say that Hendrie (Leo's father) "removed the microphone from his lapel, shook his opponent's hand, and departed the stage...". This is not the way things transpired at the actual debate, as depicted earlier in the episode. Hendrie actually said, "I'm sorry... there's only one child that matters to me now. And.. I need to be there for him. Right now." He then removed his mic and shook the other candidate's hand as the article states. It is not clear if this is intended as a mistake on April's part or simply an error by the show writers.
