** Charise briefly has five fingers in the scene where she's at Jared's cell, rather than her standard four-fingered hands. What makes it more obvious is that they drew Jared with his usual hands.

Added DiffLines:

* OffModel: In a possibly intentionally invoked example (considering how blatant it is), the Ultraprison inmates' tops abruptly become cyan for part of the bathroom sequence, as well as undergoing a change in the artists. They then switch back to their blue tops, as the art style changes again. Some of the inmates also wind up not animated with their eyeshadow during the sequence, due to the shift in artist.

An intederminate amount of time has passed since [[SuperjailS2E10Vacation the season 2 cliffhanger]], and Superjail has now become "Ultrajail". Not only has the Mistress taken over the jail, but she's demoted the Warden, Jared, and the Doctor to inmates, and hooked up with Lord Stingray to become the "Stingstress" pair.

As the new rulers of the jail wind up proving to have a reign as unstable as their relationship, Jared, Charise, and Alice try to find a way to bring the Warden back to power and get the jail back to the way it was.

* SeriesContinuityError: Overlapping with possible {{Retcon}}. At the end of "Vacation", the Doctor was shown alongside the rest of the Superjail staff when they were confronted by the Mistress, and he was wearing his usual green work clothes. The flashback in this same episode has the Doctor instead depicted among all the starving and tired inmates, along with having a much longer beard (compared to the one he had at the end of the previous episode), lighter skin, and wearing the sailor coveralls that the inmates had. Oddly enough, the final shot of "Vacation" (with the Doctor among the staff) was recycled as the first establishing shot in the the flashback,

Jean and Paul also don't really show up with the other inmates, save for a background gag mentioned below.

** While the Mistress and Stingray look over at the surveillance cameras, Jailbot can be seen finally arriving back at the jail. Unfortunately for him, he's a little too late to be helpful as we see later.
** In Jared and Charise's fantasy of a perfect Ultrajail, there's a sign reading "Pee Dee, Live in Concert!", an injoke about the producer Peedee Shindell (who will later be referenced in another way in ''[[Recap/SuperjailS3E4UhOhItsMagic Uh-Oh, It's Magic]]'').

!!"Stingstress" contains examples of:
*AbsenteeActor: The Twins are rather noticeably missing from the whole plot. The last time they were seen in "Vacation", they seemed to be left behind at the jail and didn't go on the cruise.
*CallBack: The episode picks up an indeterminate amount of months after the "Vacation" cliffhanger. Thankfully, Nicky's flashback is there to pick the viewers up to speed on how Superjail fell to the Mistress and Lord Stingray.
*DrivenToMadness: The Warden, after being demoted to an inmate and stuck in a cell for so long. He manages to recover, or well as much as he can [[BunnyEarsLawyer considering his usual grasp on reality]].
*FunnyBackgroundEvent: As the Superjail inmates are being captured by the Mistress' ships, watch for Jean and Paul trying to grab on to each other and stay together. They fail, and Jean is none too pleased.
** A few of these can be seen in the pan across the prison cells: Ash is attempting to entertain a bored Nicky who's busy taking a dump, the Doctor (demoted to inmate) messily dissecting an inmate on a toilet, and Fatty being tormented by Gary and Bird.
*ImagineSpot: Charise's vision of an "Ultrajail" utopia where the Ultraprison and Superjail staff can cohabit in peace and romance.
*SexIsLiberation: What seems to be the case when the Mistress finally finds someone that she is pleasured by, giving her the idea to give up Superjail and return home.
*SigilSpam: Mistress' smaller spaceships are all shaped like her hat, her bulldozer is pink and modeled after her, and she demolished the Warden's tower to replace it with a pink-and-yellow version modeled after her own face.
*ShipperOnDeck: Charise plays this for the Warden and the Mistress and Jared then plays along, but the two only really want to be closer to each other and have Superjail back to normal (or at least improved) without the Mistress' power-hungry hold on it.
