Trivia

 * The previous episode established that the Purge already existed eight years ago. This episode updates that information establishing that there was already a Purge fourteen years ago.
 * This episode is the first appearance of Tonya, former wife of Marcus and mother of Darren Moore.
 * This episode strongly implies that there is significant cover-up activity from the authorities to hide the actual levels of violence since the Purge, presumably to hide the fact that it increases the overall amount of aggressiveness despite the official line that it is supposed to keep it down.
 * When Ben had flashes of himself killing the Demon Purger, archive footage from This Is Not a Test has been used. However, one of the footage showed the Purger's eyes were shut after Ben removed his mask. This footage has never been used in the episode, and it is contradicted to the actual scene, where the Purger's eyes were wide opened after Ben removed his mask.
 * Ivan Hoey Jr. was credited as playing the role of "Pledge Neil" in the episode, but the character did not appear. It is very likely that his scene has been cut.
