They discover that the Highbreed have erected a cloaking field, built by Cooper over the area, concealing a mysterious arch-like device.

Gwen: Ben? Are you hiding?
Ben: No. It’s just, if a fly lands on that banana when it teleports and it rematerializes as a deathly banana fly monster. I don't wanna be standing right next to it, is all.

Allusions

  • When Kevin said to Ben "You used to turn into one of those (insects)", he was referring to Stinkfly.
  • Ben's concerns about a "banana fly monster" in the beginning of the episode is a reference to the science-fiction horror film The Fly, the main character had a similar problem when he and a fly entered the teleporter he was working on at the same time transforming him into a fly monster.
  • The teleporter is very similar to Paradox's time machine.
  • The second hint towards the events of War of the Worlds are foreshadowed when Cooper was destroying the machine.

Trivia

  • Though Kevin shows tendencies of being protective, jealous and mad when other guys had a crush on Gwen, he was surprisingly good humored towards Cooper for his adolescent feelings for Gwen.
