Trivia

 * This episode features references to many of the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series.

 * Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse are referenced many times during the episode, as well as the circumstances that made them leave S.H.I.E.L.D.. These characters are going to star in their own spin-off series, Most Wanted.
 * Daisy Johnson explains that Damage Control will deal with the cleanup of the attack of the Watchdogs against Ruben Mackenzie's house. This group will be the focus of their own TV series, Damage Control.
 * During the newscast that Alphonso Mackenzie watches, one of the headlines says: "GANG WAR RAGES IN HELL'S KITCHEN. AUTHORITIES SEARCHING FOR SOLUTION".

 * Daisy Johnson offered to "quake" the Nitramene off Fitz's neck, which is a reference to her codename from the comics, "Quake".
