Trivia[]
- The working title was, "K.C. Is in the House!" and "We're Baaack".
- This was the first episode of Season 2.
- The fact that Craig can be a cheapskate in extreme situations was seen in the episode K.C. and the Vanishing Lady
- The Coopers got reinstated back in The Organization and Judy is reassigned with them.
- This is the first appearance of DJ K.C.
- Keanu Reeves and the movie The Matrix was mentioned. The movie was indirectly mentioned.
- When Judy gets reprogrammed, she uses the same line she used on K.C. in My Sister From Another Mother... Board on Penelope.
- K.C. said that she wasn't the best dancer, though, in the Pilot she mentioned that she learned how to dance in "one of those celebrity dancing shows". Which is ironic, because Zendaya is a trained hip hop and hula dancer and had danced on Shake It Up.
- The intro has changed, it has scenes from episodes of season one and one scene from season two episodes.
- The fair scene was shot at the studios where K.C. Undercover was filmed.
- yPod is a parody of the iPod.
- "Bad Ideas R Us" is a parody of the toy branch "Toys “R” Us".
- This was the third time that K.C. is disguised as a man with the first time being in the episode K.C.'s the Man, the second being Runaway Robot.
- As mentioned by Craig himself, in terms of continuity, this episode takes place a month after the first season finale.
- Judy's memory was temporarily wiped.
- When K.C. Says to Darien "You got 99 problems and you can't solve one" she is referring to the song "Problem" by Ariana Grande.
- This episode was the first appearance of Darien.
- Chris Tavarez previously starred in the 2010 Disney Channel Original Movie Avalon High playing Lance.
- This is the first appearance of The Jackal, and it is revealed that he escaped from prison.
- This is the second time Judy has been seen without her head attached to her body it was first seen in Assignment: Get That Assignment!.
- In some countries and on Disney+ this episode is divided into two episodes and named it "Coopers Reactivated! Part 1" and "Coopers Reactivated! Part 2".
- Though many enemies have previously died, or have been discussed as dying, this is the first confirmed death.
- This is the first hour-long or two-part special of the season.
- Craig having to go on a mission on his own and K.C. going in disguise instead of him could be a parody of the Disney animated classic Mulan.
- Take Note that in the Season 1 Finale, it was Agent Beverly who banned the Coopers from being agents. But Agent Johnson unbanned them in this episode. Ironically enough, we never see Agent Johnson or Agent Beverly on screen together.
- Agent Johnson returns in this episode
- When Darien says hey to Marisa, he also says "Hey, new girl." to K.C.. When he leaves he calls her Katie, which is close to the working title for K.C. Undercover which was Super Awesome Katy.
- Darien calls K.C. "Katie", three times.
- Craig goes on a mission to find The Jackal alone.
- Mrs. Gutierre asked K.C. to tutor a student, which happened to be Darien.
- Agent Nelson helped K.C. look like Craig.
- Darien got a "B" on his math test.
- This is the first time cannibalism has been indirectly mentioned on a Disney Channel show. Though it was indirectly, it can be inferred because Ernie said "I heard his request for his final meal was his prison guard Ted." There is a coincidence with the name Ted. Ted Bundy was an American serial killer, though, it is unknown if he actually consumed the body parts of his victims.
