Trevor is imprisoned at Seagate Prison. In the Marvel Comics, Seagate is where the superhero Luke Cage was created.
The title of Trevor Slatery's CBS show, "Caged Heat", was the code name for Iron Man 3 (2013) during production.
There are two stickers of the Liverpool Football Club crest on the walls of the room in which Slattery is being interviewed. This is a continuation of a theme from Iron Man 3 (2013), when Slattery celebrated a goal scored by Liverpool.
An inmate at Seagate is called Fletcher Heggs, and bears a tattoo of a chess pawn near his eye. In the comics Heggs was the Knight, a member of a group of personal assassins called the Chessmen.
The title sequence of Trevor Slattery's television show "Caged Heat" credits Mike Post as the music composer. Post created the music for a lot of 1980s television shows, like Magnum, P.I. (1980), The A-Team (1983), and Hill Street Blues (1981).
