Ms. Frizzle’s outfit[]
Ms. Frizzle’s dress depicts a diagram of the zones of the ocean. Her necklace pendant is a yellow submarine reminiscent of the Bus' submarine form from "In the Swim", "Hides and Seeks", "Nothin' but Net", "The Frizz Connection", and "In the Zone".

Trivia[]
- When Ms. Frizzle says "Have us Frizzles gotten you eaten yet?/But you didn't stay eaten, right?", it is a callback to the trope in the animated canon in which the Bus gets suddenly eaten or chewed by a living creature with the class aboard, whilst they come up with a way to escape, seen in "Gets Eaten", "All Dried Up", "The Busasaurus," and "Hides and Seeks."
- Keesha was not in this scene.
- This is the second time it is implied that Wanda's favorite color is red, the first being Makes a Rainbow.
- Going by production order, this is the eleventh episode of Season 1.[1][2]
- Jyoti mentions her grandmother, who gets her name and speaking debut in "Nothin' but Net".
- This is the second time in which a student converts a measurement in the imperial system into metric. The first time was in "Kicks Up a Storm."
- Upon reentering the mesopelagic zone, Keesha says "red is the new black", a reference to other Netflix series, "Orange is the New Black".
