The Warden is arrested for crimes he will commit in the future.
"Time-Police: Part 1" contains examples of:
- Cliffhanger: Complete with a split-screen showing the staff's different paths they take, as it's pondered if this is truly the end of Superjail.
- Continuity Nod: Specimen 7 is revealed to have either died after "Combaticus" or at least at some point in the future, as its holding cell reads "R.I.P."
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: The Time-Police are meant to be modeled after the band Cheap Trick. Meanwhile, Christy Karacas claims that their helmets had a different basis, from the hardsuits in the anime Bubblegum Crisis.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: Aside from "Chubsteaks", there's a glimpse of a smoothie place called "Lemon Jeff" (modeled after Orange Julius).
- The nations represented in the resistance against Future Warden include: The United States, Peru, Uganda, Norway, Chad, Iran, Switzerland, Translyvania (apparently now a country in that timeline), Afghhanistan, France, the Netherlands, China, Saudi Arabia, Japan (seen in the war sequence), and some crazy homeless man.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: Specimens 1 through 6 are of the same deal as the deceased Specimen 7, all being cloned from the DNA of the Superjail staff (and anything else the Doctor could mix in).
- Our Presidents Are Different: In the timeline where the Warden took over the world, the American President is apparently a President Action who tears off his shirt and tries to attack him instead of signing the final treaty. (Aaand he gets zapped.)
- Stock Footage: When Alice and Jared are in the execution room, one zoom-out frame uses the stock art of Alice that was used for promoting season 1.
- Time Police: They make their debut here.
