Trivia

• The episode's title is a reference to the first Chronicles of Narnia novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
  • When Ava and Sara finish putting together the wardrobe in Ava's purgatory, Sara says "Let's go to Narnia", referring to the fact that a certain magical wardrobe creates a door between Narnia and Earth in the aforementioned story.
• This is the first episode since "Tender is the Nate" to feature all of the series regulars or show Nate using his Steel powers.
• Gary compares he and Nate shredding Hank's documents to Julia Roberts as in the title character in the film Erin Brockovich, but Nate suggests that they are more like the company Pacific Gas and Electric.
• Nate describes his father's vision of Heyworld "Jur-magic Park", a reference to the film Jurassic Park.
• Neron can be heard whistling "Pop! Goes the Weasel" several times.
• Nate compares Mikey T.'s voice to that of a Soprano, referencing the TV series The Sopranos.
• When Charlie and Mick are giving Zari tips on how to approach Nate, she asks if the situation is "Legends Eye for the Straight Guy", a play on the TV series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
• When looking for Mikey T., Nate hesitates before referring to him as "Mr. T", a nod to the actor who goes by this name.
• Nate spittaking his drink on Ray was improvised.
• Nora tells John "I know how hard it is to watch someone you love become a demon", likely referring to the season 3 episode "The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly" when her dad became Mallus's vessel to save her life, and subsequently died moments later when Mallus assumed his true form. John then says, "Yeah, well too bad there aren't any Beebos around to hug it to death!" referring to when the Legends used the Totems of Zambesi in the same episode to conjure a warrior (which assumed the form of a gigantic Beebo doll) to fight Mallus, which ultimately killed him by body slamming him in a hug-like fashion.
