Continuity
''' Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk. '''


 * Juniper and Lily share a mirror, as Luna Thorne and Mabel do. In accordance to the creators' tumblr, you tend to share a mirror with the person you're in love with when you're a Martin (unless, of course, your grandmother dammed the girl who loved her, leaving her to share a mirror with you, her very, very not human granddaughter who by all rights should be sharing with a rebellious nurse with a halo of curls etc etc.)
 * The "eating what you love" metaphor sticks around.
