Allusions[]
- The title of this episode is taken from an often-used network programming implementation, which was common throughout the 1970s and part of the 1980s, but is not so much used today. The full phrase was a variation of "We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin". In the context of this episode, it could refer to the fact that the series is breaking away from the fictionalized "WandaVision" show to focus on characters and events taking place in the real world.
