Trivia

 * It is revealed that angels have a "full angel" form, a parallel to demons and sinners' full demon form.
 * It is revealed that the Extermination was originally supposed to be kept a secret from the other angels outside of the Exorcists, as per Sera's orders.
 * Adam is also the one to have named Vaggie, with the latter keeping her name after her descend to Hell.
 * Additionally, it is revealed that Vaggie was originally an Angel and an Exorcist before she spared a sinner child, resulting in Lute slashing her eye and ripping Vaggie of her angel wings and halo, thus becoming a fallen angel.
 * Despite all this, Charlie has no knowledge of it prior to this episode.
 * It is revealed that the majority of Heaven do not know how a soul qualifies to become a winner in Heaven.
 * According to Angel, his contract with Valentino states that the latter only has full control of him whenever Angel steps foot within his studio.
 * This is the first episode to show Lute without her LED helmet.
 * This also implies Exorcist angels only take their helmets off during their off-time.
 * It could also be assumed that Adam, like Lute, has a human looking head, but has yet to remove his horned helmet. It would make sense, given he's the leader of the Exorcist army.
 * It is revealed that Sir Pentious is really bad at flirting.

Cultural References

 * The "Stick it to the man" line on Adam's notes is a reference to the song of the same name from the live action series, School of Rock.
 * Adam pointing out how Charlie and Vaggie went to see "his manager" and calling Charlie a Karen is a reference to the real-life nicknames given to entitled customers, usually middle-aged females, who ask for the help of a store manager, as to try and prove themselves right.

Continuity

 * In Vaggie's flashback, both Charlie and Vaggie's outfits are similar to the ones in the pilot.
 * Husk being disappointed in Cherri pushing Angel to take drugs is a reference to "Masquerade".
 * Charlie paying Cherri Bomb to take the gang out to have some fun may be a callback to how she also paid Angel Dust to be the hotel's first client, as per the Dirty Healings comic.

Errors

 * In Saint Peter's visitor appointment book, Charlie Mornington is listed twice.
 * Despite Charlie packing over a day's worth of luggage for her trip, she and Vaggie aren't shown to have brought them to Heaven. But, some of her luggage is scattered on the hotel floor, with the other being shown together with them after they arrive at their hotel room in Heaven.
 * When Sir Pentious tries and fails to ask Cherri to have sex with him, the left hand Cherri's cheek is resting on is briefly drawn as her right hand.
