Short summary

After New York suffers an earthquake, Ray heads off into the sewers by himself to find out more. There, he learns that ghosts are gathering for a massive attack on the city.

After the team feels an earthquake, Ray remarks the Firehouse is as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar, a famous landmass near Spain.

As Peter gets into his bathroom mishap, he refers to Popular Mechanics, an American magazine that features articles about automotive, home, the outdoors, science, and technology.

At one point Winston rappels down a wall, despite a ladder being built into the wall nearby.

The plot is based on the urban myth that Manhattan was built on a pillar.

Peter calls Ray,"Great Carnac." This is likely a reference to the contemporary Johnny Carson character Carnac the Magnificent.

In his sleep, Egon apologized to his mom for burning down the garage.

After Janine's Car falls underground, Peter refers to AAA or the American Automobile Association. It is a club that offers incentives to its members such as travel and insurance discounts.

When briefly pondering the origins of the Pillar of New York, Egon mentions the lost city of Atlantis.

Janine mentions she lives in the Bronx although she is later depicted to be living in Brooklyn.

Coincidentally, this episode has some parallels to "Ghostbusters II" including a brightly colored goo bubbling up from the sewer and a Ghostbuster hanging from a rope over a pit. The episode predates the movie by two years.
