Short summary

The shade of Oedipus' wife/mother Jocasta threatens him with continued suffering unless their daughter Antigone is made queen of Thebes. But Antigone, heartbroken and bitter, is more interested in drinking herself to death.

The episode's title is a play on the 1955 movie "Rebel without a cause".

At 8:00 Antigone says "A hard man is good to find". "A good man is hard to find" was published by Flannery O'Connor in 1953. Her sexual innuendo is obvious.

At 37:27 Hercules says "Kids, don't try this at home" which has become a trope in popular culture.
