- The name and plot of this episode is a reference to the The Manchurian Candidate, a 1959 political thriller novel by Richard Condon.
Look extremely carefully at the villain cameos!

Why so scared, Special Agent man?
Can't shoot the tiny chocolate cookie (Lola)! Time to make this personal.
Who wants to bet that if Lola wasn't in the helicopter, Ro would have just let Schnitzel fall to his death?
Nice try, Van der Dork. Ro's not that easy to defeat!
Ro is SUPER ticked that Lola was kidnapped.
Looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you.
*angery chihuahua noises*
Superactivated Robotboy guarding Lola <3 Also, Lola's mouth is missing...oops.
SA Ro looks so huge here.
"You have a pilot's license, I see. But where's your licence to kidnap my daughter, hmm?"
