Two of Danny's future powers were foreshadowed in this episode. In the beginning of the episode, Danny was frozen by Klemper, then when he entered the Specter Speeder, he was shivering. In the episode Urban Jungle, Danny developed icy powers of his own, which had the temporary side effect of making him shiver. Then when Danny and his friends were leaving the Ghost Zone, a couple of ghosts referred to Tucker's off-key singing as a "Ghostly Wail", which incidentally, turned out to be the power Danny obtains in the TV movie The Ultimate Enemy.

The full version of the song "Remember" hints that Ember's fire in her hair will die out from the line that says "Nothing but ashes remain." Others think it has to do with her name.

-
In this episode, when nobody is chanting Ember's name, her fiery hair at the top of her head disappears.

Look Hard: Star (who does not officially debut until "
Lucky in Love") makes four cameos in this episode. The first one is in Mr. Lancer's classroom, when the camera focuses on it from top-down perspective: Star is sitting at a desk in the front row, middle column. The second one is when Ember hypnotizes the crowd of kids outside the school: Star can be seen in the crowd of kids with red eyes looking at Lancer evilly.

The fourth cameo is at Ember's concert: Star can be seen there, although she keeps switching positions when the camera focuses on the crowd of kids.

Shades of Gray."
-
We learn that Sam does not totally dismiss the idea of her and Danny together since when Tucker asked her, "So, you don't want to end up together?" She answered, "I don't know, maybe?"

Opener: Danny is fighting a ghost named Klemper in the Ghost Zone, who whines that he wants Danny to be his friend. Tucker, with Sam in the Specter Speeder, starts playing Ember's song on his PDA, which is heard through the Fenton Phones. Klemper freezes Danny in ice, but Danny breaks through. He then shuts Klemper in a door to an icy tundra, then destroys the handle. Danny changes back in the Specter Speeder and says he's cold. Sam holds his hands so they're warm, and they both blush. They let go and then fly back.

"Remember" Full Lyrics:
Yeah! Ohh-ooohhh!
It was, it was September,
Wind blows, the dead leaves fall,
To you, I did surrender,
Two weeks, you didn't call...
Your life goes on without me,
My life, a losing game,
But you should, you should not doubt me,
You will remember my name...
Oh, Ember, you will remember!
Ember, one thing remains!
Oh, Ember, so warm and tender!
You will remember my name!
Your heart, your heart has ventured,
Your wrong, now bear the shame.
Like dead trees in cold December,
Nothing, but ashes remain...
Oh, Ember, you will remember!
Ember, one thing remains!
Ember, so warm and tender!
You will remember my name!
Oh-woo-oh-woo, Ember!
You will remember!
Ember, one thing remains!
Ember, so warm and tender!
You will remember my name!
Yeah! You will remember my name!
-

Lyrics to Ember's song (heard in episode):
Yeah, ohh-ooohh
Oh, Ember! You will remember.
Ember, my favorite name.
Oh, Ember! So warm and tender!
You will remember my name!
Oh, Ember! My favorite member.
Ember, one thing remains!
Ember, so warm and tender!
You will remember my name!

Apparently, Jack has made more than one Fenton Thermos, because Danny, Sam, and Tucker each had their own Fenton Thermos at Ember's concert.

Tara Strong.
-
We learn that Tucker isn't such a great singer.
-
Look Hard: In the scene where Ember appears on the stage and asks the crowd who they love, we get a brief cut to a large section of the audience, who chant her name a few times. Up in the left hand corner, roughly, is The Crimson Chin, from
Butch Hartman's other show,
The Fairly OddParents.
-
Featured Named Invention(s): Fenton Stockades, Fenton Phones.
-
Title Screen Caption: "A Symphony Of Doom!"

Main Villain(s): Ember.
-
Major Ghost Debut(s): Ember - Ember is a hard-rocking ghost girl that feeds off of idol worship of teens to become more powerful. She uses her voice and guitar to put teens under her spell. Her song "remember" is the song to put teens under her spell. As long as the teens say her name, Ember is powerful, more than Danny Phantom. Klemper - Details are quite unknown about this ghost, but one thing is certain, he is on the same uselessness scale as The Box Ghost. He's just a dumb ghost who wants to be friends with everyone. However, he does have the power to breath ice.
