Sydney is ordered to investigate reports of missing persons in Newtech City but her investigation is hampered by a malfunctioning robot dog named R.I.C. But when R.I.C. blocks an attack meant for Syd, the Pink Ranger vows to save both her robotic friend and the civilians that have mysteriously disappeared.

* Scene start: S.P.D. Academy, Cadet Rec Room. Bridge and Z are sitting on a couch. Bridge is eating toast and Z is reading.

Z: What are you doing?

Bridge: Watching you read.

Z: I don’t think I even want to ask you why you're watching me read, but could you at least do it without chomping on your food?

Bridge: Toast. Want some? It’s buttery. *Bridge wiggles the fingers of his right hand*

Z: Buttery? *copies Bridge’s hand movement*

Bridge: *nods* Buttery. *hand wiggle*

• Syd enters the Rec Room

Syd: Alright, where is he, Z?

Z: Jack? Sky? Cruger, Boom, Gruumm, am I getting close?

Syd: Peanuts!

Bridge: We’re all out of peanuts, but I got some toast. Want some? It’s buttery. *finger wiggle*

Syd: No, Peanuts! You know, Peanuts, the stuffed animal I’ve had since I was five?

Z: You’ve only had that thing for a year?

Syd: Very funny. Now what did you do with him?

Z: I didn’t take your Peanuts. End of conversation.

Syd: But he’s gone. Who would have taken him?

• The doors open to the sound effect of a rooster crowning, signaling the arrival of R.I.C. He has a large stuffed elephant in his mouth.

Syd: No!

Z: Heh. Good dog.

• Scene change: Gruumm’s Spaceship, Mora’s Room. Mora is playing tea with stuffed animals and her doll, Cindy Sunshine.

Mora: *to the stuffed animal* Is it hot enough? Good.

• Gruumm enters

Gruumm: There you are, Mora.

Mora: Did you come to play with me?

Gruumm: I need your mind.

Mora: Fat chance. I need my mind and you’re not getting it.

Gruumm: I meant, I need you to think of a plan of action.

Mora: *takes a drink of imaginary tea* Ok, got one. But I’m not telling unless you have tea with Cindy and me.

Gruumm: *laughs* I am the Emperor of the Troobian—

Mora: Empire. Blah blah blah.

Gruumm: Mora. This gift I gave you, this deal I made, it can be taken away at my command.

Mora: Ok, ok! Sorry. But who’s gonna have a tea party with me?

• Broodwing enters

Broodwing: Good day, my Emperor.

Mora: Yes… Broodwing.

Broodwing: Silence, child! I have business with Gruumm.

Mora: And I have a plan for Gruumm. And if you don’t have tea with me, I’m not telling him.

Broodwing: Fine with me.

Gruumm: But not with me. Sit, Broodwing.

Broodwing: I will not!

Gruumm: Oh you will sit! *Gruumm’s eyes glow dangerously*

Broodwing: Ok! I’m sitting!

Mora: Good Broodwing. Ok, I’ll be the mommy, Gruumm is the daddy and Broodwing is our little baby bat.

• Broodwing grumbles

Mora: Now here’s my idea. Broodwing gets all the monsters he knows and brings them–*she stops* You’re not drinking your tea, Broodwing.

Broodwing: I’m not thirsty.

• Gruumm slams his hand on the tea table

Gruumm: Drink it!

Broodwing: Ok! I’m drinking! Look! See see! Yum.

• Mora grins into the scene change

• scene change: Newtech City, Piggy’s alley. Piggy is violently thrown against a wall by a large green alien, resembling a rhinoceros, with a huge horn (Rhinix).

Alien/Rhinix: You smelly little runt! I know you have that formula! Now hand it over!

Piggy: Settle down! I’ll give it to you. Here. Take it.

• Piggy hands Rhinix a vial of green goo

Piggy: Now. A little payment would be appreciated.

Rhinix: Of course! Here’s your payment!

• Rhinix loads the vial of goo into a gun and fires it at Piggy. Piggy turns into a pile of… green goo. He then abruptly solidifies

Rhinix: You weren’t supposed to turn back! You tricked me!

Piggy: Well, you turned me into slime! I’m not saying I didn’t like it. But we had a deal!

Rhinix: Rotten eggs? *he hands Piggy a carton*

Piggy: Oh… they smell absolutely putrid! They’ll make a great omelet.

Rhinix: Then give me the right formula!

Piggy: *pulls out another vial* But you can’t use it on me!

Rhinix: Deal.

Piggy: Here you go.

• A policeman (non-S.P.D.) passes by and spots the two

Policeman: Hey! Who’s out there?!

• Piggy ducks into his dumpster as Rhinix shoots the policeman, turning him into green goo.

Rhinix: Oh yes! It works! Excellent!

• Rhinix uses his gun to suction the green goo into a container. Piggy stares at Rhinix into the scene change.

• Scene change: S.P.D. Academy, Bridge & Sky’s dorm room. Syd walks by the open doorway, carrying something in her arm

Syd: Bridge?

Off scene voice: Eight, Seven, Six…

• Syd enters the room searching for the voice. She finds a computer with a counter displayed on it.

Syd: Why is the computer counting down?

Computer: 3, 2, 1…

• Bridge suddenly enters

Bridge: Hey Syd—

Syd: Look out!

• Syd throws herself onto Bridge. The computer… launches two slices of bread into the air

Computer: Toast done.

• Bridge looks up from the floor

Bridge: What was that for?

Syd: Toast? I thought your computer was going to explode.

Bridge: Why would it do that? I just amped it up to make toast. Want a piece?

Syd: No. I just came by to give you this. *she hands him a magazine*

• R.I.C. comes running through the Rec Room to Syd’s side, making rooster sounds

Syd: *looks down* Leave me alone!

• R.I.C. nuzzles her leg

Syd: *indicating the magazine in Bridge’s hands* It was delivered to my room. I figured it must be yours.

Bridge: Finally! My new issue of Extreme Upgrade! Boom and I are gonna upgrade his computer with a super processor… *Bridge pauses* maybe even a waffle iron.

Syd: So there’s a whole magazine about customizing your computer? How can I get a subscription?

Bridge: Oh, you can just borrow mine when I’m done with it.

• Syd gives Bridge a look

Bridge: Wait. That was sarcasm, wasn’t it?

Syd: Yeah.

• R.I.C. continues to nuzzle Syd’s leg, making monkey noises

Syd: Stop it! *to Bridge* Doesn’t this thing ever run out of batteries? It’s always following me.

Bridge: What’s the matter? I thought you liked dogs.

Syd: Of course I do! My family raises pedigree Pomeranians. This, however, is not a dog. It’s a glorified appliance.

• R.I.C. hangs his head and baas

Kat (on comm.): Power Rangers, report to the command center immediately.

• Syd and Bridge head out into the scene change

• Scene change: S.P.D. Academy, Command Center. The Rangers (and R.I.C.) listen to Cruger report

Cruger: There have been several reports of missing persons in the Industrial District.

• R.I.C. neighs like a horse and wags his tail

Cruger: Not now, R.I.C. *to Rangers* I want you to investigate.

Syd: I can check out the area. Ask some questions.

Cruger: Good.

Sky: And we’ll monitor for any signs of alien activity.

• R.I.C. comes up to Syd and trumpets like an elephant

Syd: What is your problem, rust bucket?!

Z: Aww, he likes you.

Syd: Go away!

• R.I.C. mimics a monkey… and then squirts blue fluid onto Syd’s leg from his nose

Syd: Ahh! Stupid robot, look what he did to my uniform!

Cruger: Get out of the way, R.I.C.

• R.I.C. backs up to Cruger, making donkey sounds… and lifts one of his hind legs. The camera cuts to shocked looks from the Rangers and back again to Cruger, who now has blue fluid on his foot and on the floor

Bridge: Don’t worry, it's only coolant.

Jack: He must, ah, really like you, Commander.

• The male Rangers snicker

Syd: Why do we even keep that malfunctioning beast around? He’s useless. Not to mention totally annoying.

• Cruger leans in and speaks in a low voice

Cruger: Unfortunately, R.I.C.’s technology is practically obsolete. It won’t be long before he will have to be deactivated.

Bridge: What?!

Sky: Commander, are you kidding me?

Syd: Well if you ask me, he’s been ready for the scrap heap for a while now.

Z: Syd! That’s pretty cold. Even for you.

Syd: You heard the Commander. He’s outdated.

Bridge: OK, R.I.C. may not be perfect, but he’s still a part of the S.P.D. family.

Syd: It’s a machine, not a pet. It’s broken, so we replace it. If it’s a matter of money, I’m sure my father would be happy to write a check.

• The other Rangers stare at Syd in shock.

Syd: Whatever, people. I have work to do.

• Syd walks away in to the scene change.

• Scene change: Newtech City. Syd is driving the Patrol Jeep by herself. A sheep's baa comes from the backseat, and Syd turns to find that R.I.C. has stowed away with her.

Syd: What are you doing here?

• R.I.C. makes more barnyard sounds and glitches

Syd: I do not need you messing up my investigation. You stay in here, got it?

• R.I.C. clucks in response.

• Scene change, Rhinix is chasing civilians and turning them into slime in front of a office building. He reaches down and reloads his gun with former human slime from a park bench.

Rhinix: I'll take that.

• Jack, Sky, Bridge and Z pull up morphed and in their patrol vehicles.

Jack: Looks like trouble. Come on!

Rangers (in unison): Hold it right there!

Rhinix: Who's gonna make me?

• cues roll call

Jack: 1! S.P.D. Red!

Sky: 2! S.P.D. Blue!

Bridge: 3! S.P.D. Green!

Z: 4! S.P.D. Yellow!

Rhinix: Meet my friends.

• Krybots appear

Jack: Gear up, Rangers!

• They draw their weapons

Jack: Let's do it!

• Fight ensues

Jack: Delta Blasters!

• Z points to Rhinix

Z: There he is!

Rhinix: Not so fast!

• He throws boomerangs at the Rangers. Jack shoots them down.

Jack: Got 'em! Yeah!

• Rhinix charges and blows the Rangers away

Rhinix: You'll never stop me!

• Scene Change: Newtech City, Piggy's alley. Syd is wincing from the bad smell.

Syd: Eww.

• Syd kicks Piggy's dumpster

Syd: Piggy? Can I talk to you for a minute?

Piggy: Well, if it isn't the little S.P.D. princess. I thought I smelled something clean.

Syd: It's called soap. You should try it sometime.

Piggy: Please!

Syd: People have been reported missing in this area. I need to know if you saw anything unusual last night.

Piggy: Well, let's see. A three headed Sorean, eating a car. Verma, the worm woman, walking her snail. No, nothing unusual.

• Syd holds up a metal container. Piggy backs away.

Piggy: Ugh! What's that?!

Syd: Deodorant.

Piggy: Put that away!! Maybe I do remember some little skirmish last night. Check out over there.

• Syd checks out the spot where Rhinix slimed the policeman earlier.

Syd: Hmm, green slime. Kat should have a look at this.

• Syd pulls out a syringe and takes a sample. Broodwing appears around the corner

Broodwing: Hmm. I don't think so.

• He tosses Krybots at Syd. Syd launches into a fight but is backed into a corner. The Krybots take aim and fire. R.I.C.

throws himself at the blasts, protecting Syd and taking massive damage. Syd stands in shock. Then she places her hand on some bricks and activates her genetic power.

Syd: Fist of stone!

• She slams her hand into a heavy barrel, causing it to launch into the Krybots, which finishes them off.

Syd: Oh no! What did they do to you? R.I.C….

• R.I.C. baas pathetically into the commercial break.

---

• Scene change, S.P.D. Academy, Kat's lab. Kat is analyzing the slime.

Kat: Interesting.

• Cruger walks into view

Cruger: What is it, Miss Manx?

Kat: I'm not sure. Some sort of petroleum based energy fluid but there are definitely traces of human DNA.

• Syd walks in

Cruger: Well done, Cadet Drew. This could help us find those missing people.

Syd: I would have never been able to bring it back if it weren't for R.I.C. How is he?

• Kat and Cruger exchange looks.

Kat: I'm afraid the damage was extensive.

Cruger: And most of his parts aren't even made anymore.

Syd: What are you saying?

Cruger: It was a difficult decision, but we had to deactivate him. I'm sorry.

• Syd glares in disbelief into the scene shift

• Scene Change, S.P.D. Academy, random hallway. A lower ranking cadet is pushing a trolley of computer parts including R.I.C. He passes by Syd.

Syd: Hold it, Cadet.

Cadet: Yes Sir… ah ma'am.

Syd: What are you doing?

Cadet: Taking some cyber junk, old computer parts stuff like that, to the recycling center.

Syd: Recycling as in crushing, melting and turning into something else?

Cadet: Yes ma’am.

Syd: Stand back, Cadet. Cadet, did you sort the earth metals from the galactic metals? The Earth plastics from the protein inhibited plastics? The glass from the ultraglass?

Cadet: I didn't know–

Syd: I'll take over from here, Cadet. You can go back to the S.P.D. manual's chapter on recycling. Carry on.

Cadet: But I–

Syd: What part of 'carry on' do you not understand?

Cadet: Yes ma'am.

• Syd smiles into the scene change.

• Scene change, S.P.D. Academy, Sky and Bridge's room. Bridge and Boom are doing handstands against Sky's side of the room, or in Boom's case attempting to.

Boom: Remind me again why this is the best way to solve a problem?

Bridge: Gravity causes ideas to go downward to your head, that way your brain can kinda soak 'em up better.

Boom: Oh, ok.

• Syd enters the room

Syd: Bridge, get off your butt. Er, your head.

• Bridge flips down

Syd: I have a project for you guys.

Bridge: What? What's going on?

Syd: How would you and Boom like to do the ultimate extreme upgrade?

• Bridge and Boom exchange excited nods.

• Scene change: A montage of scenes occurs, showing Boom and Bridge working on R.I.C. in Kat's lab

Bridge: Pliers.

• a computer monitor shows R.I.C.'s x-ray, Syd in a welder's outfit welding parts together, Bridge's hands pulling out a load of stuffed animals from a hidden compartment in R.I.C., and finally R.I.C.'s eyes glowing.

• Scene change: Gruumm's Terror ship, Gruumm's throne room

Gruumm: Next!

• A line of monsters is standing next to the throne

Random Monster: My plan is to turn humans into parsnips and bury them into the ground!

• Mora shakes her head at the plan. Gruumm launches the monster into an abyss. The next monster comes to take his place.

Second Random Monster: I'm thinking evil hand puppets.

• Gruumm vaporizes him. Rhinix steps up

Rhinix: Emperor…

Gruumm: This one better be good. (to Mora) Your plan, remember!

• Mora grins. Rhinix gives Gruumm some green slime

Rhinix: For you.

Gruumm: Slime? You bring me slime?

Rhinix: My Emperor! This is energy fluid made from a most interesting source. Humans!

Mora: Nice.

• Scene change, S.P.D. Academy, Command Center

Cruger: Many more people have disappeared. This has become a citywide crisis.

• The Rangers, minus Bridge, are standing at attention in front of Cruger.

Cruger: Where is Cadet Carson?

• Boom and Bridge enter, excited

Boom: Ladies and gentlemen!

Bridge: And assorted extraterrestrials.

Boom: May we present–

Boom and Bridge: R.I.C. version 2.0!

• R.I.C. comes bounding into the room

Syd: Yay! I knew you guys could do it.

Boom: Oh, you have no idea. Check out his mad new skills.

Bridge: Ok, you got your basic CD/DVD player, a projector, a refrigerator–

Cruger: Amusing additions. I'm sure he would be great fun at a party, but he isn't an asset to S.P.D.

Boom: Au contraire, mon commondare. I amped up his like, his weapons systems–

Bridge: And I upgraded his surveillance capabilities, and I installed new tracking software. His sensory capabilities should be off the chain!

Syd: Then he can help us find more of this stuff.

• Syd holds out a sample of the green slime.

Bridge: Ah… yeah, the thing is, we haven’t really had the chance to test the new programming–

• Syd gives the slime to R.I.C. anyways.

Syd: Come on R.I.C.! Find it!

• R.I.C. picks up the scent and runs straight through the Command Center doors, creating a huge hole. Boom and Bridge sheepishly mug into commercial break.

---

• Scene change, Newtech City, random streets. R.I.C. is on the case with the Rangers following behind on bikes and in the Jeep

Syd: Don't lose him, Z!

• R.I.C. stops in an abandoned lot. He sniffs at the ground, and Syd grabs a shovel from the Jeep.

Syd: Come on!

• She runs to where R.I.C. is pointing

Syd: Is this the spot?

• She begins to dig

Jack: (after a while) Come on, Syd, give it up.

Syd: A few more minutes.

Z: I hate to say it, but he obviously wasn't able to trace the scent.

Syd: We're not sure of that yet.

Bridge: I told ya, Syd. We didn't have enough time to test the program. I guess he's still kind of buggy.

• R.I.C. barks

Syd: But he seems so sure…

• R.I.C. barks again and nods his head

Sky: Well, there's no use in all of us wasting our time out here. Come on, guys.

Bridge: (patting his leg) Come on, R.I.C.

• Jack, Sky, Bridge and Z leave. R.I.C. follows after with his tail tucked between his legs, whimpering, but Syd refuses to give up and continues to dig. It begins to rain hard.

• Scene change, a rainy S.P.D. Academy, Command Center. Bridge is standing next to R.I.C., looking dejected.

Bridge: I dunno what happened. Something in his mainframe must have had a glitch.

Z: It's ok, Bridge. R.I.C. will still make a good pet.

• Jack goes to R.I.C. and pulls a soda out of his refrigerator

Jack: Even if he isn't exactly S.P.D. material.

• R.I.C. whines into the scene change

• Scene change, Newtech City, abandoned lot. Syd is still digging in the rain. Suddenly the ground gives from under her and she falls into a underground cave. Syd recovers from the fall and spots shelves of jars containing green slime

Syd: Oh my goodness! Wow! I knew it! R.I.C. was right!

• Syd climbs out of the hole

Syd: I am so going to the spa when this is over.

Rhinix: You're so not going anywhere.

Syd: Ha. Ok. I'm filthy, cranky, and my new shoes are trashed. Do you really want to mess with me?

• Rhinix charges, and Syd pulls out her morpher

Syd: S.P.D., Emergency! S.P.D. Pink!

• Syd and Rhinix throw down. Rhinix manages to throw Syd against an embankment.

Rhinex: You want more of the same?

Syd: Time for some backup.

• Rhinix charges Syd

Rhinix: Forget it!

• Syd's morpher goes flying

Rhinix: Looks like you're on your own!

• Rhinix shoots electricity at Syd

Syd: Woah! Ahh!!

• quick Scene shift, S.P.D. Academy. R.I.C.'s ears perk up as he picks up on Syd's cry of pain

Z: Woah, what's going on?

Bridge: (glumly) The sensors are just probably all messed up.

• The Command Center alarms go off as they pick up on Syd's distress

Jack: Syd needs help!

• R.I.C. runs through the closed Command Center doors again

Cruger: *Growls* I just had that fixed.

• Scene change, Newtech City streets, R.I.C. is racing to Syd's aid
• Scene change, Abandoned Lot

Rhinix: You Rangers are useless. Why don't you just give up?

Syd: Everyone thought R.I.C. was useless too. But he came back strong. If he can do it, so can I.

• Syd charges at Rhinix and he pushes her back

Rhinix: Time to finish this game.

• R.I.C. suddenly charges Rhinix, knocking him to the ground.

Rhinix: Woah, didn't see that coming.

Syd: R.I.C.!

Rhinix: Who invited you?

• R.I.C. jumps Rhinix and latches onto his arm

Rhinix: Get off!

Syd: Deltamax Blaster!

Rhinix: Horn-pedo! Fire!

• Rhinix shoots his horn from his head. Syd dodges and manages to slice off the horn.

Rhinix: My horn! My beautiful horn!

Syd: Oh, get over it.

• The other Rangers arrive, morphed

Syd: (to R.I.C.) Good teamwork, boy.

Z: Looks like R.I.C. sensed she needed help.

• Sky finds Syd's morpher on the ground

Sky: You're right! She wasn't able to call us.

Rhinix: I'm not finished yet.

Syd: I got this one.

Jack: Hold on, Syd. Why don't we let R.I.C. take it from here?

• Jack holds up a metal bone looking device

Syd: What?

Jack: R.I.C.! Fetch it boy!

• R.I.C. grabs the metal bone and turns into a gun-like weapon

Bridge: How cool is that?

Syd: A Canine Cannon! I love it!

Rhinix: You'll pay for destroying my horn!

Syd: I think it's you that's gonna pay. Let's see what the judgment scanner says about you. Judgment mode!

• Judgment time! The scanner gives an X.

Syd: Guilty!

Rhinix: What?!

Jack: Let's do it!

Syd: Canine Cannon!

Jack: Fire!

• They fire the cannon into Rhinix. After Rhinix is shot, the slime in the underground cave transforms back into human civilians. The policeman from the first scene begins to direct people out of the hole.

Policeman: This way, everybody!

Another Civilian: Keep going!

• The camera pans to Syd, who is holding Rhinix in a containment card

Rhinix: Hey, let me out!

Syd: Not a chance!

• Syd moves to demorph

Syd: Power down!

• She runs over to R.I.C.

Syd: I guess this makes us even, huh R.I.C.?

• R.I.C. barks into the scene change

• Scene change, S.P.D. Academy, Cadet Rec Room

Jack: Another case solved by the brilliant B-Squad.

• Syd playfully smacks Bridge in the stomach

Syd: I knew R.I.C. would come through for us!

Z: But don't forget, you came through for him, too.

Kat (over intercom): Power Rangers, Report to the Command Center immediately.

Jack: Now what did we do?

• Scene change, S.P.D. Academy, Command Center. Cruger, Kat, Boom, B-Squad and a number of Cadets are standing next to R.I.C.

Cruger: For extraordinary service in the line of duty, a special commendation to our Robotic Interactive Canine, R.I.C. A most valuable member of the S.P.D. team.

• R.I.C. has a dog bone-shaped medal pinned to his head. The others applaud.

Syd: R.I.C version 2.0 is great. But you know, I kinda miss the old R.I.C.

Bridge: Well, we didn't change all of his programming. There's still some old R.I.C. in there.

Cruger: I can verify that to be true, Cadets.

• Cruger holds out his foot which is covered in blue coolant. Everyone laughs into the fade to black.

• Oddity: A few times throughout this episode (when Syd is digging, and later when the Rangers drive up to aid her in her fight against Rhynix), there are mysterious police cars appearing in the background that were never seen before nor will they be seen after. This is because the footage is Japanese, and the Dekaranger drove different patrol vehicles.
• Oddity: Syd and the others drive after R.I.C. in the Delta Cruiser with Sky on his motorcycle. The others then leave, taking the vehicles with them. So… was Syd supposed to just walk back to base?
• Oddity: How did Cruger get the doors repaired so fast after the first time R.I.C. broke through them? Indeed, why did they not open automatically for him in the first place?
• Oddity/factual error: Syd digs through grass and dirt to find the people turned into fuel; however, if Rhinix hid them there previously, then why is there not a filled-in hole at the site?
• Factual error: Japanese lettering can be seen on the side of one of the buildings during the first Rhinix fight (this is, of course, because the footage itself is Japanese).
• Series continuity: This is the only time in the entire series that a non-S.P.D. police officer can be seen. It is unknown if S.P.D. is meant to be the only police force by this time (making the policeman's appearance a simple continuity error) or if it works alongside the regular police department, handling threats they cannot (i.e. extraterrestrial ones).
• Continuity error: When Syd hands Bridge his magazine after she tackles him, the two are sitting on the ground. However, when R.I.C. approaches, both are suddenly standing, but had no time to do so.
• Continuity error: The footage of Rhinix filling up his tank with people fuel is re-used several times; this makes it appear that there is already some in the tank when he first begins vacuuming up the policeman.
• Continuity error: When Jack, Sky, Bridge and Z go to fight Rhinix while Syd is performing her investigations, their surroundings change several times, as the fight mixes American and Japanese footage.
• Continuity error: When brick-fisted Syd punches the barrel at the Krybots, it releases a poof of dirt and debris; however, somehow none of it gets on her.
• Continuity error: While Boom and Bridge are explaining R.I.C.'s new features and mention the refrigerator, a shot shows a panel on R.I.C.'s back opening to reveal a drink can inside, and Jack's fingers can be seen poised above it; however, at that moment he's standing further away. This is because this footage was shot for later in the episode, when Jack actually does grab the can and drink from it.
• Continuity error: The hole that Syd is digging becomes much smaller when it begins to rain. In addition, when she falls through it, none of the rainwater and mud filling the hole falls through with her, just dry dirt.
• Continuity error: Many of the mud/dirt stains on Syd's face and jacket vanish or change positions when she climbs out of the hole.
• Mora's other dolls during the tea scene are a bunny with a black eye and a dog with an eyepatch.
• When there's a close up shot of Bridge's desk, a microscope is visible in the corner of the frame. His mouse appears to be resting on top of an S.P.D. handbook of some sort.
• When Syd tackles Bridge to the ground, a guitar can be seen leaning up against his bed, and a skateboard with large tires is agaisnt his wall.
• One of the monsters Gruumm interviews is a slightly-modified version of Deviot, one of the main villains of Lost Galaxy.
• This episode marks the first appearance of the Canine Cannon, which becomes a staple for finishing off criminals. Syd is the one who gives it its nickname.
• When Bridge and Boom are doing handstands inside Bridge and Sky's room, Boom's arm is placed to cover up the tattoo on Matt Austin/Bridge's left wrist.
• This episode is the debut of Bridge (and S.P.D. fandom in general)'s infamous catchphrase “It's buttery!” accompanied by the finger wiggle. It will make an appearance again in Resurrection, and much later on when Bridge appears in Once a Ranger pt. II. His actor, Matt Austin, mentioned in an interview that it actually originated before S.P.D., when he made the motion while trying to describe a type of food he liked; he mentioned it on set, and it was worked into this episode's script as it is a very Bridge thing to do.
