Trivia

• The first few minutes of the episode share a few similarities with the opening of Alias #1, the comic Jessica was first introduced in.
• There's a scene where Jessica is doing private investigator work on the toilet. This scene is an homage to a page in Alias #7, where Jessica reflects over a case on the toilet.
• One of the first items of clothing you see Luke Cage wear in the episode is a plain yellow t-shirt, a nod to his signature outfit in the comics.
• When realizing he's in the wrong apartment, Malcolm remarks that Jessica's peanut butter is "not crunchy". By a stunning coincidence, Jessica's Earth-21722 counterpart is said to fight aggressively with her Luke Cage in favor of crunchy peanut butter.
  • This is a coincidence as opposed to an easter egg due to both comic and show being developed independently around the same time.
