* AscendedFridgeHorror: The Grundel was active for so long that it was likely he might've had other victims the Ghostbusters weren't able to find or save if they were even aware of them. This episode shows he had at least one child whom he kept trapped to turn into another Grundel.
* ContrivedCoincidence: The one victim of the Grundel the original Ghostbusters were never aware of just happened to be a close friend of one of the new Ghostbusters.
