Marriage Counseling

Notes du joueur

• ◆When driving to Kyle's house, Michael may mention in passing that he had crabs in the past, but he got them cleared up. This disgusts Franklin, who comments that he shook his hand. The condition that Michael is referring to is pubic lice, also known as crabs.
• ◆The destruction of Madrazo's house is taken from the 1989 film Lethal Weapon 2, which features an identical scene in which a house on a Los Angeles hillside is demolished when one of its supports is pulled away using a pickup truck, with equally destructive results.
• ◆When Michael says, "It's a foolish man who builds his house on sand, baby." He is referencing Matthew 7:26 in the New Testament.
• ◆In addition, after this, Franklin says that "[his] boy Matthew wasn't thinking about trucks when he wrote that shit".
• ◆Raf De Angelis alludes to the destruction of Natalia's house in the GTA Online mission New Listings - Hard Deadlines, saying, "one minute you've bagged a beautiful property, the next someone's pulling your deck down the canyon with his truck".
• ◆If the player gets inside Michael's house without triggering the mission (such as through the garage), and the player heads towards Michael's room, it will be locked, which Michael comments on.
• ◆This mission is one of several in GTA V that will have an altered opening cutscene depending on which protagonist the player is playing as when they start it; if the mission is started as Franklin, most of the opening cutscene where Michael discovers Kyle in his room is missing, and instead, it will begin from the point where Kyle jumps from the balcony with Michael heard yelling upstairs. Kyle will not break the balcony windows, nor will he knock down the flowerbed. The front doors to the mansion will be closed when Franklin approaches, but in the opening cutscene they will automatically appear open.
• ◆After the initial confrontation, Kyle leaps over the balcony and dashes for his red Blista, and a brief chase scene ensues. This entire sequence involves scripted traffic, which includes: a Felon GT on the corner of Steele Way, a Rocoto traveling down Mad Wayne Thunder Drive, a halted Benson and a turning Baller on Greenwich Way, a Baller leaving a driveway and a Felon traveling opposite Michael on Cockingend Drive, a Cognoscenti Cabrio traveling down South Mo Milton Drive, and a Journey backing out of their respective driveway.
• ◆The Journey is scripted to leave the driveway after Kyle passes, cutting off Michael and Franklin, as Michael and Franklin will yell for the Journey to get out of the way, with Franklin noting that they lost Kyle immediately after.
• ◆The tennis coach's car cannot be overtaken, or else the vehicle will dramatically speed up.
• ◆Before the mission, the white Bison at the mansion cannot be driven by Michael, nor can it be stolen by Franklin. Kyle's red Blista cannot be stolen by either protagonist at the mansion, but it is possible to do so in the canyon once Martin's house has been pulled down.
• ◆If the player loses Kyle before he is scripted to get away, Michael may explain to Franklin how he caught the two. Franklin will state that Chavis has some explaining to do, though Michael will retort that what he witnessed was explanatory enough, and what they will do to Kyle will not need to be explained either, to which Franklin agrees.
• ◆Kyle cannot be harmed in any way, and the player cannot even get close to him without failing the mission, as he gets spooked.
• ◆It is impossible to ignore Kyle's phone call to Michael once Madrazo's house has been pulled down. If the player doesn't press the answer button fast enough when Kyle calls, Michael will answer automatically.
• ◆When being pursued by Madrazo's men, even if the player kills everyone in the cars in a single shot, Michael will still comment on Franklin's aim being all over the place.
• ◆If the player is in control of Michael when driving back to the mansion after pulling Martin's house down, it is possible to switch to Franklin and make him get out. But instead of getting back in on the passenger side of the truck, the player has the ability to play as Franklin when driving the truck.
• ◆According to Michael's actor, Ned Luke, Martin's actor, Alfredo Huereca, was given a baseball bat with one side covered in foam to hit Ned with. However, Alfredo ended up hitting him with the metal side, resulting in Michael's wincing and pained speech being a genuine reaction.
• ◆During the scene where Martin attacks Michael, Franklin explains that Martin was under a court case and the charges were dropped due to the jurors going missing. This is a possible reference to the GTA Online mission Judging the Jury, where the player's character is ordered by Martin to take out jurors.
• ◆If Michael calls Amanda sometime after this mission, it's revealed that Kyle fled Los Santos to get away from Michael.
• ◆If the player switches to Franklin right after the end of the mission, Franklin can be seen riding his Bagger, complaining how he himself got involved with Martin.
• ◆After the end of this mission, Lester will pop up as a new contact, even though the contact was in Michael's phone even before the mission (tested on PS3 and PS4).
