In this episode, it is established that Protectorate space ships can pass through the Earth's defense shield while it is up. However, in "Trial of Duck Dodgers," the Cadet needed to lower the shield in order for Dodgers' ship to pass it. (Reply: Perhaps the Protectorate modified Earth's defense sheild in an attempt to prevent another stupid mistake as what happened in the said episode.)
Martian Queen: So, what's this I hear about you being in love with me? X-2: (nervously) Heh, heh, well, you know.
DD: (about Z9) I just hope we can get my dirty laundry back from that thieving scallawag!
Z-9: Dodgers, I loathe you! DD: You love me? Yuck! What is it with you martians? Z-9: I said loathe!
DD: (to Z-9) Miss me, sweetums?
DD: Cadet! You're all right ... I mean, besides the fact that you seemed to have completely lost your mind.
(Cadet's prison goons go to attack DD) DD: I wrecked the peace treaty and our friendship. I-I'm sorry. (to goons) Hey, do ya mind?! I'm trying to have a sincere moment here!
X-2: (about DD's dirty laundry) That'll keep evil invaders away!
DD: What's the code? X-2: Dodgers is a jerk. DD: Even in prison, my reputation precedes me.
This episode is "Chapter: 95.02".
The scene where the Queen runs out of Dodgers' bathroom and asks what he does in there is a reference to "The Trial of Duck Dodgers," where Cadet asks the same question.
By the end of this episode, Z-9 is imprisoned, the Queen's dating X-2, and Dodgers is stripped of his rank of Rear Admiral with having to serve 500 hours of community service on Nostrillia.
Dodgers reveals that his full middle name is Edgar Dumas Aloysius. We only knew about the Edgar part from "The Wrath of Canasta."
K-9 makes a brief cameo near the end.
The Queen discovers the Martian Commander's secret crush over her!

Commander X-2 & Z-9's fembot: You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you? -- You know, for a minute there, I kinda did.
During Kill Bill: Vol. 1, The Bride (Uma Thurman} is surrounded by O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Lui)'s minions, the Crazy 88s, leading to the exact same dialogue between Commander X-2 and Z-9's fembot after he surrounds the pursuing fembot with his "Instant Martians, just add water." He first used these guys way back in the Bugs Bunny cartoon, "Hare Way To The Stars." In a quicker and considerably less bloody fight, the fembot takes out the Instant Martians as easily as The Bride took down the Crazy 88s.
Cadet: I knew they'd send you after me.
When Dodgers and X-2 sneak into the prison to rescue the Cadet, they find he's gone nuts and is talking and behaving like a parody of Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. Fortunately, he snaps out of it enough to aid them. Though, he's still angry at Dodgers for betraying him.
