* AbsenteeActor: The first episode to have the Twins entirely missing from a plot, although Richard Mather's name still appears in the credits due to him voicing a bit part or two in the episode [[note]]Although according to a crew member, the season 1 credits actually had quite a few mistakes in crediting the right actors for each episode (instead only ever crediting just David Wain, Chris [=McCulloch=], Teddy Cohn, and Richard Mather). Sometimes an actor wouldn't actually be at a recording session for an episode, or sometimes other actors would be there that were left uncredited.[[/note]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The episode was originally planned to take place around Easter, where Jacknife would steal kids' eggs and toys and wind up apprehended by Jailbot. After the creative team took more interest in the little girl, she wound up becoming the focus of the plot.
** The "Inner Child" was initially just a younger version of the Warden, and a "friendly, annoying kid" who would try to befriend Cancer and play with her. It was felt that the plot would work better if he was a monster that would want to kill her.

* BodyHorror: The Warden goes through this twice, first from birthing the "Inner Child" and then from said entity climbing back ''into'' him from wherever it was birthed, causing his body to twist and contort grotesquely- up until he vomits the Inner Child back up.



** The two gay inmates are briefly depicted at Cancer's party in the first establishing shot, both wearing party hats and conversing with another inmate.

After another capture of Jacknife, Jailbot accidentally brings a little girl to Superjail with him- one that the Warden instantly orders to be killed, as she's reminding him of his mid-life crisis and approaching birthday.

While the inmates and Alice start taking a liking to the little girl, the Warden's rage-fueled "Inner Child" has other plans to make sure he'll get all the attention.
