Trivia

 * Like all episodes in this season, "I Will Be Smiling Forever" takes its title from the Tennessee Williams play The Glass Menagerie. Specifically, it takes its name from the script's stage directions from scene one, in which a photograph of Tom Wingfield's father describes him as "gallantly smiling, ineluctably smiling, as if to say 'I will be smiling forever.'"
