Trivia
This episode was available on WATCH Disney XD beginning Tuesday, March 1st.
 * This is the first episode of Season 1.
 * This is also the series premiere of Lab Rats: Elite Force.
 * It was originally going to be available on Feb 29, but there were some technical difficulties uploading it.


 * Unlike the premiere episodes of Lab Rats and Mighty Med, this episode isn't a one hour special.
 * The theme song is a remixed version of the Lab Rats theme. In addition, the background and interlude music is the same as that from Lab Rats.


 * Bree, Chase, Kaz, Oliver, and Skylar are all re-located to the Centium City Penthouse.
 * The Mighty Med Hospital, a hospital in Mighty Med, is mentioned by Skylar in this episode.
 * It's implied the destruction of Mighty Med, and Kaz and Oliver contacting Davenport took place sometime during the Lab Rats finale The Vanishing, as those events prompted Davenport to create the Elite Force which he mentioned in the end of the finale.
 * This is the second time a main set gets destroyed. The first being in the Lab Rats episode, No Going Back, when Douglas blew up Donald's first lab.
 * The fake green apples (and possibly the fake lemons) on the counter are the same apples as the one that were in the kichen in Mission Creek in Lab Rats season 1.
 * The events of the Mighty Med finale The Mother of All Villains are mentioned.
 * Oliver's mom, Bridget/Mr. Terror was mentioned, where it states that she was captured by Oliver, Kaz, and Skylar while Mighty Med was being destroyed. It is the reason why the trio survived the destruction, as they were off capturing Bridget.
 * It is currently unknown who did and didn't survive the destruction of Mighty Med. Thus, the fates of Horace, Alan, Optimo, Hapax, and other heroes/patients or doctors/employees like Solar Flare and Lizard Man, are still unknown.
 * It is possible that more about who survived will be explained later on, as Skylar states there are still other heroes who need to be warned about Roman and Riker.
 * When Bree says "Why are the bad ones always so cute?" this is an indirect reference to Sebastian and Troy, two of Bree's previous love interests who turned out evil.
