  • Syp The Mighty learned to mod her PC copy of The Master Chief Collection for the shots of Emery's pelican in this episode, editing still images of the pelican for specific shots while using the in-game footage for select shots due to the lack of splitscreen in that game's PC version.

  • Geff and Nicole's final lines, in which Geff excitedly states "Well, looks like a quick stop and then Spartanhood!" with Nicole simply responds with a sarcastic "Great.", is in reference to their final lines in Infinity where Geff states "Next stop: the UNSC Infinity!" before Nicole uncertainly says "Great..." in response.

Errors

  • Syp had intended to show the body of Alana Reynolds as an establishing shot just prior to introducing the Brigadier and Valentine, but had forgotten she hadn't filmed it until the episode was already scheduled to upload. She intends to rectify this for the season's At The Movies re-release.
