- Harsher in Hindsight: The very end of the season casts some moments in this episode in a much darker light:
- Sprig’s plot centers around him not trusting Marcy, but eventually learning to do so. The reveal that Marcy deliberately sent Anne and Sasha to Amphibia means she was untrustworthy after all.
- Sasha bluntly stating in Anne's flashback "One of these days, [Marcy's] gonna get herself killed," becomes this when King Andrias impales and appears to kill Marcy.
- Anne's tearfully admitted fear of losing Marcy again is ultimately proven true.
- The very title: Marcy at the Gates. Darkly ironic she would nearly end up at the pearly gates.
- I Knew It!: Many fans had predicted that (like Sasha) Marcy ended up somewhere in Amphibia with a different species, the most popular theory being that she was with Newts. With the reveal of Newtopia, fan speculation on Marcy's whereabouts focused on the city almost exclusively.
