With all this talk about the multiverse, I can't help but wonder whether we'll get a tip of the cap to the mycelial network.

It got briefly mentioned in the last episode, didn't it? Or the one before that? Before whoever brought it up turned around and said something like "on, that's not a thing, forget I said that".

I think that was Wesley on "Prodigy," but it's possible - probable, even - that I'm forgetting something.

Oh yeah, that was probably it.
