Photos of several contestants chosen for Calypso's tournament are shown; some from previous episodes such as John Doe (Roadkill), Miranda Watts (Twister), Preacher (Brimstone), Bloody Mary (Spectre), and Amber (Flower Power), plus two previously unseen, a man in a motorcycle helmet marked with a skull (Mr Grimm) and a large muscular man flanked by giant tires (Axel).
The end of the episodes feature a gang of girls in doll masks, a reference to Dollface (the driver of Darkside from Twisted Metal: Black) and her faction, the Dolls (first seen in Twisted Metal (2012)).
As Calypso posts photos of the drivers participating in the Twisted Metal competition, there are two drivers posted that haven't been introduced. The bald man with the tires on either side of him is "Axel" and the biker with the red skull on his helmet is "Mr. Grimm". Both are characters in multiple Twisted Metal games and, therefore, easily recognized by fans of the game.
Shows Juggernaut, driven by Twisters Girlfriend, which first appeared in Twisted Metal (2012 Remake)
The title of the episode is "Shangri-La"
