If your vision was partially obstructed by a constant flow of tears during Tuesday night's Parks and Recreation series finale, it's possible you missed a clever Easter egg that appeared about midway through the episode.

Since 2009, Chris Pratt has been known for his role as Andy Dwyer, the lovable doofus on Parks and Rec. But over the past six years, Pratt's career has expanded to include the coveted role of Star Lord in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Tuesday's episode paid homage to Guardians in a scene with Andy and his wife, April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza), set on Halloween in 2022.

When trick-or-treaters come to their door, all are dressed in pretty standard Halloween costumes -- with the exception of one child, who is dressed as Star-Lord.

Details like these are just another reason why we'll miss its absence from the NBC lineup.
