Continuity[]
- The chair built by The Shanes as seen in The Great Abyss is similar to the one in The Drop as seen in "The World Beneath Our Feet Part 1" and "A Distant Shore".
- The Shadow Talker is seen and used again after Eli gets it from his father's chest in "Inheritance", but this time Eli is able to handle its effects.
- El Diablos Nacho returns after a long absence since "The New Kid Part 2".
- But while in the Deep Caverns, unknown to the Shane Gang, Nacho also whispers his past encounters with the gang and Eli's identity as a Shane to Brimstone.
- Brimstone references his past encounters with "Midlanders" (aka non-Darkbane) and the Shanes, probably hinting at his past encounters with Dr. Blakk and with Will Shane who had been defeated in The World Beneath Our Feet Part 1.
Errors[]
- Eli shoots Sparky but Rocky is seen in the blaster.
- John Bull's bandoleers are blue instead of red.
- After Eli tells Burpy to give the Darkbane his worst, another ghoul is seen in the ghouled bandoleer that Eli's holding.
