Trivia
The concert Becca is trying to convince Butcher to go to with her in the opening scene is the Spice Girls; which explains how Butcher knows so much about them later in the episode.

Goofs
Homelander enters Transoceanic Flight 37 using an over-wing exit door, which remains open during the initial fight with the hijackers. As the aircraft later descends after the cockpit fight, it encounters turbulence and the emergency oxygen masks deploy.

The emergency oxygen masks on commercial airliners are triggered by a loss of cabin pressure, not by a sudden descent or turbulence. The masks should have deployed the moment Homelander opened the door, which is left open for about 30 seconds, long enough to completely depressurize the cabin and cause most people (at least those without super abilities) to lose consciousness without supplemental oxygen.

Quotes
Billy Butcher: What's Sporty Spice up to?
Mother's Milk: Who?
Billy Butcher: Sporty fucking Spice. What is she up to?
Mother's Milk: I don't know.
Billy Butcher: Exactly. How about Posh? You know what she's doing?
Frenchie: I don't understand.
Billy Butcher: Making clothes for anorexics. Right? Not exactly a growth market. And Baby? You know what she's doing? Fuck all. Not even page six of the Daily Mail. And Scary Spice? Up to her eyeballs in lawsuits and sex tapes. Ginger, on the other hand, has released three albums. 'Passion', 'Schizophonic', and 'Scream If You Want To Go Faster'. They'll all make your ears bleed. You see, when they're apart, they're absolute fucking rubbish. But, you put them together... they're the goddamn fucking Spice Girls.
Mother's Milk: How do you know so much about the Spice Girls?
