Forager's exo-shell has completely regenerated from his encounter with Lobo in "Home Fires".
Dick instructs Violet to stay behind so that she can administer a "Halo-cleanse" to Victor, who is possessed by a Father Box and has gone on a murderous rampage in "Another Freak" and "Nightmare Monkeys". On both occasions, Violet healed him back to normal, albeit temporarily. They are still looking for a permanent solution.
Dick's debrief of Brion features flashbacks with footage from previous episodes:
Devastation is in a relationship with Psimon. She was shown to be smitten with him in "Beneath".
The force-field pylons seen at the fight club are similar to the ones used to entrap the Team in "Usual Suspects".
Brion snaps at Dick when the latter is about to tell him to be patient, a recurring advice which has escalated into a skirmish between the two in "Another Freak".
Brion tells his sister about their parents' death, which happened in "Princes All".
Forager declares to have a special relationship with the Bio-Ship, which started out in "Away Mission".
Black Lightning is happy to let his powers loose on Devastation. This refers to the trauma he endured after unintentionally killing a kid in "Princes All" and since then he has been afraid of using his powers.
The masks worn by the auctioneers bear a striking resemblance to those used by the Court of Owls.
The map of Greater Bialya is the same map that previously appeared erroneously in "Beneath".
Goofs
After Helga Jace picks up the brush, her hair is gray.
When the power goes out, Mister Bliss urges spectators to return to their seats. The venue has no seats; guests view the arena from the walkways and landings.
Cultural references
Mister Bliss' welcome in three languages to the audience is taken from the opening song of Cabaret, "Willkommen". His appearance – a tuxedo and grease paint face – is similar to the way the Kit Kat Club's Emcee is traditionally dressed.

Keep the questions open-ended and neutral: do not suggest an answer.
Holocaust: Tell them, Bliss, the girl is toast. Or should I toast her to prove it?
Mister Bliss: No, thank you, Holocaust. A living loser still knits a pretty penny.
Father Box: No more reprieves, Mother Box. I'm coming for you.
Tigress: Emergency generator. Don't you hate it when the bad guys are prepared?
Icicle Jr.: Don't play nice! You think I've forgiven you? You stole my girl! I mean, sure, I didn't know she was Miss Martian, but I was totally into her and you knew that!
Superboy: Yeah, but I was into her first. I just hadn't figured it out till you helped bring us together. I owe you for that. Hey, we're engaged now.
Icicle Jr.: Dude, congratulations! No, really, that's awesome! I always thought you guys made a great couple. Maybe that means there's hope for me too.
