this is just talking from years of experience watching tv, if the writers include enough references to something then it will happen because then they will just have loads of fans complaining how they teased something and didnt do it. as for in show, they arent aware of the audience they just keep talking about something which could be disastrous to the team, and the wider hero community, if its true so yeah you can expect it to play on characters minds
