* ContinuityNod: Darren Jones' mention of having gouged out his wife's eyes over a petty detail references his comic-counterpart doing the same thing, albeit over a different thing (cooking the wrong dish for his dinner with the boss). Although here it's a indication of Darren's fanatic adherence to normalcy, while in the comic, he was just depraved and insane.

* TransformationDiscretionShot: Cliff is able to smuggle a liquefied Rita into the Bureau Of Normalcy via his hollow mechanical body; after he ends up getting forcibly attached to the ceiling of a holding cell, Rita exits via his mouth to land on the floor far below him, and begins audibly reshaping herself. We then cut to Cliff, and a few seconds later, we cut back to find Rita polishing off the last of her transformation with a bit of ToplessnessFromTheBack.

* BittersweetEnding: More or less bordering on DownerEnding. While Doom Patrol managed to free Cyborg and the rest of the prisoners and practically crippled the Bureau of Normalcy, Mr. Nobody manipulated Grid into provoking Cyborg to kill his father.
