Trivia
- Once the player takes Tracey home, she will happily say goodbye to Michael, even if he killed the stalker.
- If Michael chooses not to help his daughter, she will be angry and shout that she will have to find someone else to help her out, before she hangs up. Some in-game hours later, Michael receives a text saying: I had to pay sum dudes to beat that dude. Thank god I still have your Maze Deets. Bad dad! When Michael receives this text, he loses $22,000 from his account, ending up paying for the men Tracey is speaking of.
- Even if Michael beats up the man or uses the Stun Gun instead of killing him, Tracey still comments on the fact that the player killed him despite simply knocking him unconscious.
- There are several conversation topics with Tracey before taking her home, including Michael's reckless driving or about Lazlow and her appearance on Fame or Shame.
- The Tornado that the stalker is driving is modified with matte purple color, custom rims and other upgrades. The car could be obtained by getting out of Tracey's Issi and taking the Tornado near Michael's mansion, then get back to Tracey and complete the mission.
- Tracey talks about this on Lifeinvader even though Michael said not to.
- Tracey shows hesitance and awkwardness when asked whether she meet the guy because of her Fame or Shame appearance, suggesting that she might actually have encountered him through her online persona "Tracey Suxxx". This is confirmed when the stalker refers to Michael as "Mr. Suxxx" after Michael says he is Tracey's father.
