The incident mentioned called Bloody Sunday occurred on January 30, 1972 in Derry when British soldiers opened fire on a crowd of protesters and shot 26 people, and 14 were killed. It is often considered one of the worst incidents during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Michelle and Erin's argument is over whether paramilitaries who went to prison during the Northern Ireland Troubles should be set free from prison. This was a key issue during the peace process and was often a stumbling block to its success.
Whenever Sister Michael is seen, she is either sitting or standing. At the time this episode was filmed, Siobhán McSweeney was still recovering from a leg injury, which was the reason why she was using crutches in previous episodes. As this episode is set one year after Halloween (2022), her crutches were dropped for continuity, as it was considered unlikely that Sister Michael would still be using them.
Clare's clothing and items often show the gay pride rainbow symbol, which she proudly wears as an out lesbian. In addition, the school magazine called the Habit where she publicly came out for the first time can be seen on her bedroom dresser.
While the gang discuss the parties, Michelle and Orla are eating Southern Tayto crisps. There is a Northern Tayto as well (Cheese and Onion flavour is sold in a yellow packet). Derry City is very close to the border with the South/Donegal, so that might explain them eating the Southern version.
There is huge debate in Ireland about which version of Tayto is the nicest.
The North and South Tayto companies are different companies, with the Southern headquarters in County Meath and the Northern company based in Tandragee, County Armagh.
