* OffscreenKarma: It's mentioned at the end of the episode that for not telling the Chans about the Jiangshi, resulting in them having to fight it (not to mention leading to Uncle temporarily becoming its minion), Uncle managed to get the estate executor to sell him the antiques at half price.

* EyeOfNewt: The spell that can take back the stolen chi from the Jiangshi requires a toadstool from a graveyard to be put into the Jiangshi's left sock, and after the spell is cast, the sock with the toadstool in it must be thrown into a river before sunrise. This is based on historic beliefs about dealing with vampires, although usually the sock was filled with rocks or soil from the vampire's grave.
