The title of this episode is likely not only a reference to the introduction of the Vermilion, but could also be a reference to the 2008 film, "The Happening" or the 1977 Stephen King novel (and its 1980 film adaptation) "The Shining".
Acronix is briefly seen playing unnamed parodies of real life apps "Candy Crush" and "Fruit Ninja" on the BorgPad.
