Kayo: "Simple search and recovery mission to deliver some anti-venom. But we have to hurry."
Brains: "Hurrying is good. And this is just what Scott needs to k-keep him out of the way, I mean, take his m-mind off all this waiting."
Scott: "I guess you're right."

Trivia[]
- This episode marks the first appearance of Professor Moffat since season 1's Heist Society. Also, this is the first mention of the Centurium-21 since that very episode.
- Scotts shows that he still mistrusts the Mechanic, despite Brains' reminder that he is now free of The Hood's Cybernetic Eye.
- Lady Penelope is wearing her racing overalls for the second time; her first time was in Rally Raid. However, she wears them to go undercover.
- In the assembly hanger in which Brains and the Mechanic are building the T-Drive engine, there are a set of twelve pod chases seen. However, these are the older yellow versions which were used in Thunderbirds 2 and 3, rather than the redesigned green and red pods which were seen in Thunderbirds 2 and 3 respectively since the start of season 3.
- When Scott and Kayo are trying to capture the drone, Scott remarks that he's had this problem before - a reference to Avalanche.
Goofs[]
- Scott remarks that "next time [he] should take a jetpack". However, he was wearing a jetpack when he was loaded into Thunderbird 2.
