Locations:

The episode's title parodies the title of Stephen Chbosky's 1999 novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
It is shown that Leslie Larr possesses Kryptonian powers like Superman.
- It is unknown if she is a Kryptonian herself or she somehow gained her abilities in the past.

There are a few references to Smallville in this episode:
- Clark tells Jordan that, in the past, he tried to play baseball but his father warned him about the consequences of harming others: this is similar to what Smallville Jonathan Kent did with Clark, trying to discourage him from playing football.
- Sarah quits cheerleading, just like her mother's counterpart did in the third episode of Season 1.
