Hector Ramirez, who first appeared in the episode "Twenty Questions," explains to the viewers what happened in the previous episode. However, his hair was incorrectly colored as gray instead of black. "Leary
Chemicals is another inside joke. Dr. Timothy Leary was a major advocate
for dropping out and taking LSD during the 1960s" (Matthew
Pak's 3 3/4" G.I.Joe Collector Guide - Volume Two: The Television Episodes).
 
A crystal ball similar to one seen at Joe headquarters in the episode "Twenty
Questions" (left picture) mysteriously reappears at Cobra headquarters
(right image).
Flying over Owsley Chemicals, Cobra Commander giggled softly and stated:
"As Stalin said: 'Trust no one. Not even yourself.'" Before the philosophy
"Trust no one" was the popularized by the television series The X-Files,
Cobra Commander already believed in the idea.
While addressing the "warriors of Cobra," Cobra Commander is wearing
a purple cloak that first appeared in the mini-series "G.I.Joe:
A Real American Hero."
Because this episode has a previous chapter that include appearances
of Clutch, Grunt and Steeler, the next part more than likely occurs before
"Worlds
Without End - Part I."

| The color of Tomax's costume should not be white but dark blue. |

| Judging from the image, Duke was more than at battle "in spirit" while recovering at the G.I.Joe Hospital. |

Dialogue:
Shipwreck: Oh, this is crazy. We’re strung all over the map
trying to protect 50 different targets
Flint: Save it, Shipwreck. We don’t need your complaints.
Shipwreck: Aw, I don’t mean anything by it. Just ask Duke he
- I guess you can’t ask Duke.
Flint: No, I can’t. He’s still in a coma because of that traitor.
And cobra could put half the country in a similar state if we let them
get the chemicals they need for their mind control gas.
Time: 27 seconds
