18- Remember Peggys idea to find out who was Alex crushing on? She told her sisters she would become friends with Laurens beause he was Alex's roommate and maybe he knew who the crush was. That was actually a lie, she only became friends with Laurens because she alread was suspecting on him.

19- After they started dating Alex decided to just embrace Heathers and started doing references.

20- The reason the Schuylers laughed so much when they suggested that Alex was in love with Jefferson was because they had literally just established that Alex wouldn't fall for a fuckboy or a druggie and on this story he's both.

35- Sally always knew that Jefferon had been cheating on her, that one night she hooked up with John she had came to the bar to drink her pain away. John would've personally prefered to watch sad movies with her instead of sleeping with her to make her feel better but he told himself he had to.

36- Sally actually broke up with Jefferson and got herself a nice girlfriend not long after John came out.

43- John didnt plan proposing to Alex, he just accidentaly blurted the words and happened to have a ring pop on his pocket that day.

44- October 14 is Alex and John's wedding aniversary. I choose that date because Ham got married on December 14 and John on October 26 historically, so i decided to mix both dates.

45- Some of you know this but the story is called "Benefits", not Benefits. The quotation marks are included in the tittle as if saying that they aren't really any benefits of having this affair if they have to suffer while being on it.
