Trivia[]
- The opening of Chrissy Beppo's message via the DOD is almost an exact replica of the episode synopsis.
- Tal-Rho talks to Clark about Lois Lane's Inverse World counterpart's "Corpse Bride" look, referencing the 2005 film of the same name.
- It is revealed that the events of the entirety of Superman & Lois take place on an alternate Earth, separate from Earth-Prime (the main Earth where the rest of the shows in Arrowverse take place since "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Five"), with Superman being the only superpowered hero in the world.
- Sam Lane tells Jon and Jordan that during his time at the D.O.D, he has seen glimpses of other worlds and the leagues of heroes on them. This is the first reference that the multiverse is still alive since the final scene of "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Five".
- When Inverse Chrissy vanishes her translated words end at "I don't want to [go]...". A popular meme attributed to the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who and Spider-Man in Avengers: Infinity War.
- The North Korean submarine that Superman saved from sinking in "What Lies Beneath" re-appears when the merging of the worlds was disrupted.
- While speaking to the citizens of Smallville, Lana mentions Superman's new motto from 2021 onwards: "Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow".
- The episode title is a reference to the song of the same name by the band Daughtry.
- This is the last episode of Superman & Lois to feature Jordan Elsass (Jonathan Kent) as a series regular.
Goofs[]
- There is no sound in space, so Tal-Rho, Superman, Jordan, and Ally should not have been able to speak or hear each other.
- However, due to this battle between all of them happening when the worlds were merging for Ally's plan, the problem of space being a vacuum might not have been an issue at the time.
