** Also, the shocked murmurs that ripple through the courtroom when Rick decries the very concept of the Citadel are almost certainly in part because C-137 was the one who ''established'' the Citadel (or at least the most recent version at the time).

** In the brief BreakingTheFourthWall moment, meta-Rick tells fans to check out "Season 1, Episode 9" for context about Evil Rick and Evil Morty. However, said episode was actually "Something Ricked This Way Comes", which had nothing to do with them; the episode he really means is "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind", which is episode ''10'' of the first season.[[note]]This mistake was probably because the writers remembered that said episode was the penultimate of Season 1, and episode 9 is usually the second-to-last episode in a Rick and Morty season; however, since the first season had 11 episodes instead of 10, this was not the case.[[/note]]
** In "The Rickshank Redemption", Rick was supposedly able to trick and escape from the Gromflomites when they invaded his "memory" of his wife and daughter dying, despite the fact that he's not supposed to be able to hijack a memory, because he claimed it was a "totally fabricated backstory" that he thus had total control over. Here, however, it's revealed that said backstory was actually ''true'' for the most part, meaning that it really was a memory with a few minor details altered at most.
* SpecialEditionTitle: Rather than the usual Rick and Morty intro, this episode features an {{Animesque}} intro sequence (complete with Japanese vocals) for "Rick and Two Crows", carrying over from the previous episode.
