Recap
Keely and Tia, at the end of a phone conversation, argue about who is going to hang up first. Phil, who is quite fed up with listening to the conversation, calls Keely on her other line and tells her to hang up. Eventually, to Keely's chagrin, Tia finally hangs up. Phil laments about how close she was to Tia and how they did everything together, even things her other friends might not like or might be embarrassed by. Keely then says she's lucky to have him. The camera pans out to reveal the two of them at a day spa, getting facials, manicures, and pedicures together. Phil doesn't look all-too-pleased about the situation...

In the shot Keely is looking at, her hair is down, covering her ears completely.

You Say Toe-Mato", it states clearly that people from Phil's time only have four toes on each foot.
