This episode
retcons many previous episodes of the series in which Peggy's mother has appeared, notablyI Remember Mono , in which her present-day appearance is completely different, and she lives in, around, or near Arlen (although the episodeHappy Hank's Giving implies that she still lives in Montana or moved back, despite her still keeping her original appearance then), and is on speaking terms with her daughter (Peggy also keeps her mother on speed-dial in the episodePregnant Paws , despite her saying in this episode that she hasn't spoken with her in years). However, Peggy's father, Doc Platter, is seen for the very first time in the series.
