* TheBeastmaster: Orpheus manages to use his magic to tame a giant cockroach to ferry Old Team Venture to the hospital.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: White accidentally enlarges a cockroach to about the size of a van.

** Back in ''[[Recap/TheVentureBrosS1E11PastTense Past Tense]]'', Orpheus predicted the cause of Action Man's death would be a stroke, which occurs here, quoted at "Two years, 17 days..."

* CerebusCallBack: The Problem Light from [[Recap/TheVentureBrosS1E2CareersInScience Careers in Science]], being a life prolonging device, wasn't ''intended'' to be an indicator of a problem with Gargantua 1, and Rusty's action figure in the station's circuitry wasn't responsible for it suffering issues. It was Jonas regaining consciousness and attempting to communicate with its systems and inadvertently causing a crash from system error. It blinking was his attempt at communicating through Morse code. Furthermore Rusty's action figure did cause Old Team Venture to slip and fumble Jonas' frozen body while carrying him to it, shattering him and leaving him in the condition he is.

* HarsherInHindsight: The Blue Morpho’s sex tape. On its first appearance, it’s a source of humor due to the Monarch watching his father have sex with strangers.

** Back in ''[[Recap/TheVentureBrosS1E11PastTense Past Tense]]'', Orpheus predicted the cause of Action Man's death would be a stroke. Guess what happens to him here.

* SequelEpisode: Of sorts to both: "[[Recap/TheVentureBrosS5E7BotSeeksBot Bot Seeks Bot]]" and "[[Recap/TheVentureBrosS1E2CareersInScience Careers in Science]]".
