Release

Dates are in order of release:

• United States: April 19, 2021 on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network)

Behind the scenes

• Birdcat's civilian name is revealed to be Sir Peter Pants.
• Gillian's surname is revealed to be Sans.
• BNBC's post sets the year as 2020.
• When Gillian imagines Judy being taken to court, it's in the same courthouse from Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. There's even a cameo of a Lizardman (from the Jonny Quest episode "The Mystery of the Lizardmen), in the audience, a common occurrence in that series.
• Gillian goes on a website which looks like a parody of Reddit.
• When Birdcat gets free, his travels are done in the style of the TV drama series Touched by an Angel, appropriately renamed to Touched by a Birdcat.
• Birdgirl parodies the "Stop! Hammer time," line from the MC Hammer song "U Can't Touch This," when she goes to take a shower and says "Shower time" and dances off the same way.
• In Judy's bedroom, there are photos of her time as Birdgirl working at the White House in Harvey Birdman: Attorney General.
• Despite the name of the episode, Gillian isn't addressed on-screen by name as Thirdgirl, if that was intended to be her official name for her alter ego. She is only referred to as a "three-headed monster."

Errors

• Gillian pictures Stew as one of the people who could find out about Judy's secret if they weren't careful, but Stew was killed in "Pilot."
