This episode makes very subtle reference to Bethesda games who incorporate lockpicking as a minigame
Added DiffLines:
* ShoutOut: An indirect one shown when Vax tries to lock pick a door and fails at it. During this scene we see a closeup of the lockpicking in action. This is a reference to the lockpicking mini game from Bethesda’s Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as the scene looks very similar to the games.

* EpicFail: Vex, Scanlan, and Percy's attempts to infiltrate the prison's back door fail spectacularly at every turn, from the inability to pick the lock to Percy falling from a window he tried climbing. You can practically hear Liam, Sam, and Taliesin rolling [=nat-1s=].

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's somewhat unclear if Orthax's influence over Percy empowers him against the targets of his vengeance. When emitting the tell-tale black smoke that indicates his direct contact with him, Percy's bullets against Stonefell seem to gain greater power, allowing him to blast his hammer's head off with a single shot and painfully dismember him with the other five, and Stonefell's name vanishes from Percy's pepperbox barrel after his demise. On the other hand, Percy was blasting him close-range in cramped quarters with a pretty powerful HandCannon, which might have contributed to his increased showing against him compared to when he tried to fight [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Silas]] in the wide-open garden.

* MythologyGag: The group's trouble with the door in this episode greatly resembles one that gave them trouble in Whitestone in the livestream, with some [[EpicFail notable subversions]];
** Unlike the temple door, which had a solid beam on the opposite side of the door Vax couldn't interact with, the door here has a lock that resists every and any attempt Vax makes to unlock it, causing part of his lockpicking tools to break. He outright calls it "a thing of pure evil".
** Scanlan once again gets his hand cut trying to get the door open collaborating with Vax and a blade. In this case, however, it's from working a dagger as a makeshift lockpicking tool rather than gripping the blade of a shortsword.
** Scanlan casts a spell to force the door open. However, while Bigby's Hand was what ultimately let the group proceed, its analogue "Scanlan's ''Foot''" fails to even rouse the guards inside.
** Percy attempts to find a window to get inside while the blade fails to work on the door, much like Vax did to get into the temple. Unlike Vax, Percy ''falls out'' and lands on Scanlan and Vax after their last failed attempt to get inside. The way he flatly admits to this says it all.
** Ultimately, the only reason the group proceeds at all is from a guard opening the door and upending ''urine'' on a prone Vax and Scanlan.

His [[CoolMask plague doctor mask]] helps hide this effect, but he removes it to let Stonefell know who it was that killed him in the end.
