The true name of the character of Indiana Jones. In the episode Zari hit someone in the back of the head with a frying pan which is what the character Marion Ravenwood does in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
• Ray's line of "Not groovy at all" is a reference to the "Groovy" catchphrase of The Evil Dead protagonist Ash Williams who is noted for having a possessed right hand similar to Ray.
• Zari is the second love interest of Nate after Amaya, who is a Legend.
• When discovering that Gordon's assistant Vincent stole the gold dragon egg, and comparing it to the killer in the book club book, Sara comments that the extreme doormat always ends up snapping and going bad.
