While that's happening, Toby, AAARRRGGHH and Blinky sneak into Strickler’s office for clues to Killahead Bridge, but ends up releasing a monster into school.

Trivia
- Jim's neighbor is heard to call his children, Zack and Carina, for dinner.
- Claire finally witnesses a troll, which is Draal, inside Jim's basement, although she immediately gets knocked out cold.
- NotEnrique makes a reference to the books when he calls Toby, "Tubby", which is his nickname in the original book continuity.
- Continuity: Strickler tells Barbara a story about the end of "Gnome Your Enemy", about the time Bular chased the security guard, only in a more appropriate approach by saying, "So, I said to my co-worker, 'I brought you a midnight snack.' Too bad for him, he had indigestion for days. Well, that's the problem with eating Italian."
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: NotEnrique mentions that he has a 9:00 PM feeding that he "don't wanna miss."
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Toby accidentally finds Strickler's fetch (a miniature portal to the Darklands). When asked about what he found, Toby incorrectly thinks that it is a donut cushion (which is oftentimes used by those affected by hemorrhoids).
- This is lampshaded by Toby himself, when, asked by Blinky what he discovered, he responds "Strickler's got hemorrhoids?"
