-> '''Buck:''' "Pretty cool backdrop, huh? I think it's a Baldwin E2 Atlantic. Early 1900s. Pretty rare, huh?"
-> '''Sadie:''' ({{Beat}}) "Never took you for a train buff."
-> '''Buck''' "I used to sit in the corner of the library during recess as a kid. Train books had the biggest pictures."

* WhamLine: Clancy states that Sadie having Kay's gem is ''very bad,'' and not because the government wants it or because it's giving her powers she doesn't know how to control. It's because of "the network", or more accurately...

* CerebusCallBack: Within canon, Amethyst and Greg's interest in ''Little Butler'' was obsessive but relatively tame, simply serving as the eventual backdrop for their falling out. ''Eye of the Storm'' reveals that Rose, Garnet, and Pearl purposefully used the two's love for the show to keep Kay a secret from them while she adjusted to Earth.

Later chapters also casually incorporate the show's reveal of [[spoiler:Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond]], which took years and a curveball before it was revealed.

* PoorCommunicationKills: In Amethyst's anger over being kept in the dark about Kay, she convinces the others to not tell Garnet and Pearl that they're going to try to put Sadie's gem back into her. Sadie later passes out due to the incredibly poor reaction between her body and her gem, which forces a visit to the Sun Incinerator so Peridot has the right technology to revive her.
* SuddenEyeColour: Sadie's eyes turn from green to red after her gem is lodged back into her. Out of universe, Sadie's eyes were described as green pre-gem lodging, while they're black in the show.
