Black Comedy: After Eddie's former colleague Dallas recognizes him and calls him a monster, Eddie turns into Venom and snarls that Dallas is a traitor, considering defenestrating him... but leaves. When the symbiote silently complains about not killing him, Eddie replies that killing Dallas would've made him a traitor too... and that they can always hunt him down and eat him later. After Venom kills Dr. Harwood, three hardened security guards respond to her screams. The first promptly throws up, the second quits the next morning, and the third is rendered mute for the rest of his life.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: When Eddie learns that Anne has a new fiancé who's everything he's not, he flies into a jealous rage and declares his intent to hunt Allen Hoffman down, tear him apart, and eat his brains... and then stops, lamenting that doing so would just make Anne sad. However, Eddie's jealousy compels him to tail Hoffman, learning that he's corrupt and a drug-dealer on the side. Rather than kill him, Eddie threatens him into cutting off all contact with Anne and leaving New York immediately. Anne figures out what Eddie did, however, and berates him for it.

Corrupted Character Copy: Dr. Dana Harwood is a reference to Dr. Dora Skirth from the 2018 Venom movie, being a dark-haired glasses-wearing scientist working for Carlton Drake and threatened with death — or worse — if she fails him. However, while Dr. Skirth was a sympathetic character, Dr. Harwood is arrogant and condescending.

Continuity Nod: Carlton Drake wants to recruit Venom to serve as the chief of security for the underground bunker he's building, a Call-Forward to him capturing Eddie and forcing his symbiote to spawn. Chance — an adrenaline junkie mercenary who did a one-time job for the Life Foundation — is one the villains drawn to attack Venom by the bounty put on him. While lamenting the loss of his pre-Venom life, Eddie asks the symbiote about its homeworld and whether it had any loved ones before its arrival on Earth — a nod to the revelations in Brian Michael Bendis' Guardians of the Galaxy and Donny Cates' Venom runs. Hammer's Hammer is made up entirely of villains who Justin Hammer had previously hired and given upgraded gear to in an Iron Man story-arc.

Despite his initial success against Venom, Buck is still unable to truly win the respect of the other villains — Blood-Spider and Death Shield letting him join their team but planning to kill him once Venom's taken care of.

Comically Missing the Point: Mulling over the events of the series, Venom almost comes to the conclusion that he needs to work on being a better person, and that love and compassion for others are important attributes. However, he instead concludes that love and compassion are weaknesses he must rid himself of if he is to attain his full potential as a super-hero... and kill Spider-Man, of course.
