* The ending. After a fairly humorous and even heartwarming episode, we end the episode back on Earth in a Dairy Queen, where we see Peter Quill mopping up after hours, only to notice someone behind him. Even before we cut to him, his [[FauxAffablyEvil faux-fatherly voice]] gives away that it's '''[[Characters/MCUEgoTheLivingPlanet Ego]]''', not even trying to put on an act and has gone after his son directly. Uatu even notes that it might spell the end of this world. Thankfully, the season finale reveals shortly after this, T'Challa showed up, grabbed Peter and slapped a bomb onto Ego.

* The Earth where Peggy finds Kahhori was one where the Red Skull won. We only see that [[RushmoreRefacement that he carved himself into Mount Rushmore]], but that just leaves to the viewer's imagination what the Skull, one of the evilest MCU characters, did to the world.

* The [[https://twitter.com/whatifofficial/status/1435286743905816576 trailer]] for the episode was no slouch, either. It started off with the usual [=TVA=] screen detailing an important event that happened in the Sacred Timeline before the last sentence was erased and replaced with a new sentence detailing the changed outcome like in previous episodes. For this one, however, the writer paused on the last word of the sentence before finishing. When the zombies show up, starting with a zombified version of Hank Pym ambushing Captain America, the usual triumphant music was replaced by PsychoStrings that lasted throughout the rest of the trailer as the Avengers were overwhelmed by the horde along with a few other shots.

** And prior to that, Zombie-Wanda show up looking as if she raised the zombies herself. Kahhori goes full OhCrap when she and Peggy find her, hinting this isn't the first time they met.

** Slightly mitigated or worsened, depending on your point of view, as the same scene also has Hela take command of all those zombies under her own power as the Goddess of Death. On one hand, that clearly means that it is possible for sufficiently powerful beings to halt any such ZombieApocalypse in its tracks. On the other hand, that also means that dangerous supervillains could give themselves extremely dangerous zombie armies capable of using the powers and weapons of fallen heroes and villains.

* Kahhori says when facing the horde from Earth-89521 that "Zombies are pretty universal." One ZombieApocalypse world was nightmarish enough, but the fact that they're a relatively common occurrence almost makes what pre-Loki TVA does seem justified!

* Strange Supreme turns out to be the BigBad of the episode, having become so depressed over the destruction of his universe that he starts kidnapping heroes and villains from across the multiverse and trying to use them to restore his world.
