Trivia[]
- The episode's title was first revealed on Oliver Stark's Instagram story on March 26, 2021.[3]
Cultural References[]
- The city wide treasure hunt is a reference to the Forrest Fenn treasure, a cache of gold and jewels that author and art dealer Forrest Fenn hid in the Rocky Mountains of the United States in 2010. It was found a decade later in 2020, though the location of which is yet to be specified. In the ensuing frenzy, both incident lead to responses from emergency units (attracting their criticism) and were widely believed to be a hoax for public attention, ending around when their instigators die. Unlike its inspiration, the depicted treasure hunt was in fact a prank for the writer's own gain.
Continuity[]
- Bobby mentions Athena's incident from "Powerless", in which she reveals that her captain had offered her the chance for retirement, but she refused.
- Bobby briefly mentions the lottery winner incident from "Careful What You Wish For" but was soon cut off.
