Locations
Notes/trivia
- Professor Pericles announces the "previously on..." recap for this episode. This is the first time a guest character has done this instead of a member of the gang.
- The gang found the old gun at the end of the previous episode.
- Scooby holds a grudge against the farmer who kept him locked up in his farm which he escaped in The Night the Clown Cried.
- A rift between Mr. E and Professor Pericles has formed because of the latter spending millions of Destroido's dollars and losing its best scientists.
- Pericles doesn't explicity say he killed either Ed Machine or Cassidy Williams, but he does strongly imply it; this is the first mention of Ed since he last appeared in All Fear The Freak.
- Sheriff Stone actually remembers Mayor Nettles's first name although his fixation on her role makes him call her "Janet Mayor Nettles".
- Pericles can form his wings into hands.
- Mayor Nettles served time in the Air Force.
- Brad and Judy have become completely obedient to Pericles and his highly devious plans to destroy Crystal Cove to get the Planispheric Disk, even endangering their own son, and their former dog who's badly wounded by falling out the mayor's helicopter.
- Hot Dog Water left a backdoor into Destroido's computers when she stole the pieces of the Planispheric Disk from its vault which happened in Wrath of the Krampus.
- This is the first episode in which the deputy speaks.
- Nova losing Scooby's grip and falling into the skull cattle's stampede is reminiscent of when Mufasa was thrown off a cliff by Scar and was mortally wounded from falling through the wildbeest's stampede in The Lion King.
- A villain's scheme involving a mutated herd of cattle also occured in the Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! episode, Scooby Dudes.
