When Katie says to Lidia about her ankle monitor, "Nice footwear. Who designed it. Lori Loughlin?", she is referring to Loughlin's conviction for what is known loosely as the college cheating scandal, where various forms of cheating were used to get offspring of well-off parents into college, such as paying for others to take their entrance exams.
Lidia mentioning that the ankle monitor is her scarlet letter is in reference to Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter" set in seventeenth century Massachusetts, where the lead character, Hester Prynne, is sentenced to wear a scarlet "A" (for adultery) for boring a child whose father is unknown.
