Trivia[]
- One of the background characters is revealed to be named Mark who works for Mr. and Mrs. Baker for the filming of Solar-Man: The Movie.
- In the prologue, Melissa warns Mark to be careful with delivering the props because they are fragile. This foreshadows Liv accidentally shattering Xhypno's nest and awakening the ghost after stepping on it later in the episode.
- This is the first episode where Stacy appears without her twin sister Jane.
- When Andy teases Stacy for behaving snobbishly towards him, his phone screen shows the leaderboard for Spook Out. This means the episode takes place after "Zipzap".
- While Melissa talks to a casting agent on the phone, she frantically tosses various papers containing storyboard sequences for the scene that is about to film. One of the papers features a damsel-in-distress that resembles Stacy.
- This episode reveals that Andy is interested in acting.
- When Mike advises Andy how he should act as if he's screaming for help, four chibi designs of Andy's face are shown.
- This episode reveals that level-nine ghosts can reproduce once they generate enough fear in booster mode. Had the team not captured a level-nine ghost in time, then said ghost's children would be born.
- This confirms ghosts have parents, children, and siblings like organic lifeforms, something Miss Jones first mentioned in "Sharkoak" where she captured one of Sharkoak's relatives in the past.
- Some episodes later feature ghosts with biological siblings, such as "Katastroph" and "Meta&Lix".
- This episode reveals despite Miss Jones serving as mission control for the team and encountering ghosts from a specific family based on her past as a Ghostforce member, she doesn't have full knowledge of every ghost in existence. She never sees Xhypnos before, but she manages to estimate its boo energy level to determine how dangerous it is.
- This is the third instance where Miss Jones must recharge Glowboo before he is sent to help the team after "Arakgum" and "Artiflame". Like "Arakgum", Glowboo must recharge because Miss Jones programmed him to do chores around her laboratory. In this episode, it's for giving her foot massages between missions.
- Fury acknowledges Glowboo's constant recharges by jokingly stating that his phone has better battery life than him.
- When the Ghostforce trio is on Xhypno's back, Myst tries shooting the top crystal on Xhypno's head with her arrow before Fury interferes by trying to cover it with his sticky goo. This is similar to "Artiflame", where Myst tried to fire at a wild ghost's weak spot before Fury interfered and missed his shot.
- This episode reveals that Glowboo is immune from any wild ghost's mind-control waves since he's an artificial intelligence.
- Glowboo's immunity to mind-control waves was first hinted in "Mastaar" since he's the only member of the team not wearing the ghostbuds.
- Based on his comment, he's likely built sometime between the events of "Zipzap" and "Raijin". Had Glowboo been built before the former episode, he would have easily assisted the team in capturing Zipzap without getting mesmerized by its powers.
- This is the fifth episode where one or more member(s) of the Ghostforce become affected by a wild ghost's powers.
