Notes

• The title of the episode is a play on the idiom "Walk the Line" which refers to maintaining an intermediate position or exercising self-control. It is also the title of a popular Johnny Cash song, as well as a biopic of Cash, which starred Witherspoon.
• Miss Piggy and Scooter gave a couple of promotional interviews before the episode aired, referencing Piggy's feud with Reese Whiterspoon, Kermit's relationship with Denise, as well as the future (and nature) of the show.
