Star's the main focus of this chapter and ironically, it's the 77th chapter in Book 2. Her last starring role was in the overall 77th chapter of the series.
This chapter marks the first time;
Luz has been seen with her original hairstyle since before her Important Haircut in "Escape", excluding pictures.
Eda's appeared in her original appearance (her canon S1 design) since "Understanding Lilith".
Clara and Masha have appeared without Abigail.
Masha has appeared without Dana, Rudo, and the Gordons, and the first time Clara appeared without them since her debut in "That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles".
Vee has used glyph magic.
Tropes
Blooper: Clair and Damien's professions were accidentally mixed up, given Cross' line "my mom worked as a nurse". This has been corrected to "dad".
In Memoriam: The chapter's dedicated to Steve Harwell (the former Smash Mouth member having died of liver failure five days before publishing) and Jimmy Buffett (who died on September 1, 2023.)
What Could Have Been: The confrontation with Seth and Draco was meant to occur earlier in the week, but takes place during the events of the previous chapter to give the rest of the cast a rough Splatterday.
