Continuity

• Angel Dynamite is revealed to be Cassidy Williams, a member of the previous Mystery Incorporated, which Velma realised in the previous episode.
• The teenage couple in the teaser are the two who were the first victims of the Man-Crab from the teaser of Revenge of the Man Crab.
• Mayor Jones bought the "haunted" temple off of the internet by trading it for leftover Que Horifico tee-shirts from The Song of Mystery.
• Creepy Spooky Terror Land has left over plush dolls of Char Gar Gothakon based on its appearance in The Shrieking Madness.

Notes/trivia

• The figure in the fortune-telling machine resembles the gypsy from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

• None known.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

• Dylan and Brenda were apparently broke bones in Revenge of the Man Crab, yet in Where Walks Aphrodite, they're completely fine. It's possible they were added by mistake.
• The fortune teller game made a mistake spelling "meddling". The result was "medding".

Quotes

Angel: What about the other two members of our club? Mr. E: Oh, don't worry about them, they won't move a muscle as long as Fred Jones is alive.

Hot Dog Water: (reading the fortune from the fortune telling machine) Meddling kids and their dog will foil your plan.

Mr. E: Fred told Velma, and us, enough. You see, Scooby is a much more trusting companion then Pericles was to me.
