Trivia

 * Nine days before this episode aired on Boomerang, Bill Freiberger released the title card for this episode on Twitter as a teaser.
 * This episode marks the first official appearance of Vector the Crocodile in the Sonic Boom universe (and his second overall appearance after his cameo in "Where Have All the Sonics Gone?").
 * Dixon telling Sonic to be excited at Vector's arrival when the hedgehog expresses confusion about it may be a nod to the Sonic fans' demands to see more characters from the Sonic games, like Vector, in the Sonic Boom television series.
 * The money symbols Vector creates with his eyes is a reference to his reaction of a potential paying job in Sonic Heroes.
 * The show that Justin Beaver is on and describes on the Comedy Chimp Show is a reference to the American singing competition television series American Idol.
 * Sonic and Vector's discussion about stakeouts on television while waiting for Justin to appear is a nod to themselves, as the events that proceed Sonic's description of a stereotypical stakeout scene on television occur just like he predicted.
 * Sonic calls Vector "Leatherhead", which is the name of mutant alligator from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
 * This is the second time Knuckles has incorrectly guessed Old Monkey was the culprit behind an event, the first being in "Nominatus Rising".
 * Dixon's orchestration of Vector's investigation is subtly hinted throughout the episode:
 * When Justin provides an alibi that prevents Dixon from framing him, Dixon is the first to suggest they go back to the crime scene, which was where Dixon would plant the clue that would frame Wolf Sidekick.
 * Dixon was the one who found the clue he had planted that would lead Vector to mark Wolf Sidekick as the thief of Amy's Hammer.
 * When Vector gets suspicious about Wolf Sidekick not being the real thief, Dixon tries persuading him from investigating it further.
