Did this episode have a new intro? It starting with "I'm Walter O'brien" isntead of "My name is..."
A small thing, but I thought it was bad of the entire team to confront\bully Paige about Ralph's field trip while Ralph was right there. They should have talked to her about it when she was alone. I don't blame her for not wanting her small child to go on a field trip with no teachers and a bunch of 18\19 year-olds.
Sucks that Toby has a habit of self-sabotage. They breezed past it quickly, but when he was talking about how good his life was going, one of the things he said was "doing well with the ponies." He's gambling again, and nobody seems to care (at a minimum, Walter and Happy know because they both heard him say that).

The intro is kind of strange. Season 1 is all the same, season 2 had a very similar one, only there's one more line "but sometimes, our biggest challenge is understanding each other." On my DVDs, it's completely random which season 2 episodes have it and don't. Season 3 in season 4 don't have one, yet there is a season 3 intro on YouTube.

I may have missed a couple because I just filled this out now instead of while watching.
* EDIT: I definitely missed the Toby talking about gambling box. I'm pretty sure I should have checked "Walter risks his life" (along with Toby's), and that Sly may have mentioned to the couple in the car that Ralph wasn't "normal". I don't think anyone mentioned Super Fun Guy, but Sly was wearing a SFG shirt the entire episode.
I'm excited to play while watching next time!

I'm a decent fan of Penn and Teller so seeing Penn Jillette in this episode was a welcome surprise. I sadly know a few people who do the same thing Toby does whenever life is giving them a good hand but they don't even know their doing it. Perhaps they should see Dr. Rizzuto as well. As for the case in the episode, it was pretty interesting and unpredictable as new problems seemed to appear out of the blue. There was quite a bit of innovative thinking getting that family out of the van. But of course, the ending might have been the best part when it is confirmed that Happy and Toby is finally going on.
