- The first appearance of Nancy's trailer and the Big City Zoo.
- The episode's title, Uncaged, means two things, in this episode's context: Nancy being released from prison, and Cricket and Tilly releasing all the animals.
- In addition, the word "cage" is another word for a prison cell, and the word "uncage" is another word for being released from confinement. In this case, the word "uncaged" applies to Nancy and the zoo animals.

Continuity[]
- The episode takes place right after "Phoenix Rises", at least the following day.

- The waiter that banned the Greens from Sea Fusïon makes a cameo when he is chased by birds.
- The first place Nancy takes Cricket and Tilly to was Burt's Ghurt!, the frozen yogurt restaurant Cricket wanted to go to in "Gramma's License".
- As revealed later on in "Chipocalypse Now", the reason why Nancy was liberating cows from Mass Dairy was because the company was threatening the farm.
Character Connections[]
- This episode opens with a cold open, as a backstory as to how Nancy got arrested.
- This is the second Big City Greens episode to have such a thing.
- It also reveals that Nancy had a thing of releasing caged animals, suggesting that what’s the episode theme is when Cricket and Tilly had released all of the zoo animals.
- It's revealed that Bill and Nancy were quietly divorced, as Alice loudly explained.
- It's implied in "Greens' Acres" that the reason why they divorced was that Nancy had a bad influence on Bill when they were kids.
- The episode also reveals why Alice is against Nancy: she says Nancy is a jailbird.
- According to Alice, she was the only one who objected to the marriage.
Character Relations[]
- Throughout the episode, Bill worries about the kids being under Nancy's care due to their safety and what Nancy could bring them to do (e.g. getting tattoos). However, he was the one who allowed them to stay with Nancy, so he technically brought it on himself.
