Allusions

Alien: When the queen ant's egg hatches, the larva pops out and attaches itself to Sprig's face. This references the alien facehuggers that attack the same way.
Dungeons & Dragons: Marcy's favorite tabletop game, Creatues and Caverns, is based on the fantasy role-playing board game.
Nintendo Switch: in the flashback, Marcy is seen playing on a console in similar style to the Nintendo Switch.
Dragon Quest 2: The cover of Marcy's favorite video game, Vagabondia Chronicles, is reminiscent of the Japanese cover of the second game in the Dragon Quest series, created by Enix (now Square-Enix).

Errors

Hop Pop puts on a sweater when his clothes get destroyed, but in the next shot, Hop Pop wears his usual clothes again.

Trivia

It is the first of the four 22-minute specials in Season 2.
This episode has the official debut of Marcy.
This episode reveals a few things about Marcy.
- She's smart
- She's clumsy and oblivious
- Her last name is Wu
In two months, Polly will be a froglet.
Marcy's Phone first appears in this episode.

Running Gag: Marcy's cloak catches on fire multiple times during the episode, even when there isn't any fire present.
This is the first special of the series with the full intro and the normal credits sequence. The previous special "Reunion" has only the logo in the intro, with an alternate version of the end credits sequence.

Continuity

Anne mentions Domino 2 from "The Domino Effect" and getting attacked by a snake at the lake in "Best Fronds".
