| - "And I have a thing for mermaids."
:--Mara and Shipwreck, flirting in a most curious manner.
- "You deserted us, frog princess. It ain't nice to desert your friends."
- "There are no friends in Cobra, Buzzer. Only convenient alliances. We're all cannon fodder when it suits Cobra Commander. ' I... I learned that... the hard way."

| Errors
| - *Were all the JOE underwater specialists busy that day? How else do you explain Alpine, the Joe mountain climber, leading an underwater diving mission?
*Why is is that Cobra Commander always insists on putting the Joes through slow-moving, easily escapable traps when a single bullet to the head would suffice? Here, he places Lady Jaye on a slow-moving gurney in order to put her through the same machine that transformed Mara. Like clockwork, Mara sees her and recuses her moments before it's too late.
**Actually, it was Destro who placed Lady Jaye into the slow-moving trap this time around.

| - *This story continues in "There's No Place Like Springfield."
*Tomax and Xamot simultaneously comment while on the sub, "That’s the bottom line." Their line sounds like the closing remark to any argument made be pro-wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
*Genetically modified underwater specialists is a concept that Cobra would seemingly perfect years later with their Hydro-Vipers.
*Cobra and M.A.R.S. are able to exceed the technology levels of G.I. Joe since they ignore legal restrictions and are not subjected to treaty inspections.
*Mara joined Cobra to escape poverty. Many other Cobra agents join for the same reasons.
*Shipwreck is an expert seaman, yet knows little about diving.
*In the "Now you know..." attached to this episode, Gung-Ho explains that you shouldn't judge people until you give them a chance.
