* InternalReveal: In contrast to the suspicion and skepticism Hilda and David have when they meet Victoria Van Gale again in "The Windmill", Frida is immediately trusting towards her and does not believe David's claims of her being a shady MadScientist, since she wasn't with Hilda and David when they first confronted her in "The Storm" (due to their falling out in "The Ghost"), and thus, is unaware of Victoria's actions in that episode. She becomes aware of Victoria's true colors, however, after she gets tied up by her in the windmill.

* MythologyGag: The place where Victoria ends up at the end of the episode looks a lot like the place where Tontu (Beta) and Jellybean ended up at the end of the graphic novel “Hilda and the Black Hound”.
