Trivia[]

The first version of the official episode premise listed "John Showalter" as the director instead of Richard Speight Jr.
It's revealed that the Monster Box is known as the Ostium.
It's revealed that the Akrida Leader was one of the high-ranking members of this species, but not the queen herself. The real queen is still at large and has appeared hidden at the end.
When the Akrida inhabits the human vessel, the original owner dies. The same thing happened with Eve's vessel.
Carlos refers to Ada, who's studying witchcraft, as "Samantha Stephens," the main character and witch from the sitcom Bewitched.
