Written & storyboarded by Jason Dwyer & Tiffany Ford

Craig is haunted by an event from his past while helping a band


Tropes:

  • Diurnal Nocturnal Animal: Inverted. The vulture is seen active at the night Bad Moves is performing, despite vultures being diurnal.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Cariss, one of Bernard's friends, appears in the audience for the concert. She would make her actual debut, with a refined design, in "Council of the Creek."
  • Feathered Fiend: The vulture which nests at the abandoned barn and attacked Craig when he came near its nest, traumatizing him. Although justified it was just territorial.
  • Misplaced Wildlife: The titular vulture looks like an old world vulture, not a turkey or black vulture.
  • Shout-Out: There's a poster in Bad Moves' garage that reads "Jeff Rose - In Stock". This is a shout-out to Jeff Rosenstock, who composes the music for the series and has toured with Bad Moves in real life.
    • The episode features a shout-out to the Silent Barn, a beloved but now-defunct music venue in Brooklyn, New York.
