When Hank and Nick accompany Wu back to his apartment from the hospital the film poster on the wall is "Last Call For Revenge" starring Justin Louie and Tamara Galvin. Justin Louie was construction buyer / construction assistant (55 episodes, 2011-2014) and Tami Galvin was set dresser / buyer / graphic designer (81 episodes, 2012-2017).
This episode opens with a quote from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The character Victor is lamenting his circumstances and says, "Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change. The sun might shine or the clouds might lower, but nothing could appear to me as it had done the day before."
The title of the episode is a reference to the play The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. The previous episode began with a quote from Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar and an earlier episode this season was named with a term coined in reference to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet ("Star Crossed"), making three direct Shakespeare references this season, two of which were right in a row.
The book left on Diana's bed after her kidnapping by Black Claw is "Brothers Grimm" with a picture of Little Red Riding Hood on the cover.
