Continuity
- The glasses that was used to see hellhounds is back on this episode. It was last seen in season 8 episode, Trial and Error.

- Castiel is once again showing his FBI badge upside down, as he did previously in Free To Be You and Me.
Trivia
- This episode's title name is a reference to the 1992 album of the same name by Social Distortion.
- At the beginning of the episode, Dean walks in from a hunt carrying a wire-wrapped baseball bat and comments how their dad used to love the thing. The bat bears a resemblance from Lucille from the Walking Dead, the signature weapon of Negan. Both Negan and John Winchester are played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
- This is the second episode in which Gabe Khouth appears, first being Time After Time, in which he portrays Lester Young.
- Once again, an angel is surprised when Castiel recognizes them despite only meeting them once. This time it was Kelvin, while Ephraim had the same reaction in Heaven Can't Wait.
- God's decision to exterminate the hellhounds because they were deemed too vicious is similar to the law passed in the USA that declared certain breeds of dogs, such as Pit bulls, too dangerous.
- As shown with Crowley's hellhound, hellhounds in general can be trained to behave and obey their master, as can be done for Pit bulls.
- Both animals derive their cruel nature from how they are trained by their owners.
- Hellhounds are the second species created by God which he also deemed too dangerous, the first are the Leviathans, which were locked away rather than killed off.
- One of the Lucifer loyalists said he wanted to make "Hell great again", which was a catchphrase Crowley himself used unsuccessfully in We Happy Few.
- The catchphrase was used mostly during the campaign of the Republican party in the 2016 presidential election, as "Make America Great Again".
