Short summary

Jessie turns to caffeine pills to keep up with her studies and her new singing group, Hot Sundae.

In November 2016, Peter Engel said that the original script called for Jessie to become addicted to amphetamines (speed). NBC said they would not allow it on the air unless any references to hard drugs were eliminated. Aside from replacing speed with caffeine pills, the script made no changes to Jessie's behavior or reactions to it.

Mr. Dewey's last appearance.

Jessie Spano wants to go to Stanford. In Saved by the Bell: S.A.T.s (1991), her dream school was changed to Stansbury, though the fictitious school kept all of the characteristics of its real-life counterpart.

While recording in the girls' locker room, Screech claims his name is Sinéad O'Connor. The Irish singer-songwriter's debut album, "The Lion and the Cobra", had been released a few years earlier.

Hot Sundae records a music video for a song called "Go For It". It's featured on the CD "Saved By The Bell: Soundtrack To The Original Hit TV Series" (1995).

To demonstrate that she is ready for her dreaded geometry quiz, Jessie Spano states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is the Pythagorean theorem.

The posters in Jessie Spano's room promote environmental awareness. The poster next to her mirror is a Greenpeace ad which reads "Do nothing and nuclear testing will eventually come to an end."

The caffeine pills that Jessie Spano takes were actually Red Hots cinnamon candy.

"I'm So Excited" is sung four times, counting Jessie's famous "solo" during her breakdown. The 1982 song was popularized by The Pointer Sisters when a 1984 remixed reached #9 on the U.S. singles chart.

The over-the-counter pills that Jessie procured from the drug store are called "Keep Alert".

In Jessie Spano's dream sequence, she and Zack Morris attend Surf University.

Zack Morris named the girl group Hot Sundae. They compete for a record contract with three other groups: Buns on the Run, Spiked Ear Lobes, and The Zit Hit Machine.
