References, mentions, and inside jokes in the season 1 of Young Hercules that support the canon of the season. Basically, when one episode mentions an event happening in another. (For support of the canon outside the movie/tv series, see Nod to HtLJ and X:WP. For non-support of the canon, see Continuity Warning.) For the purposes of this page, we're ignoring obvious multi-part episodes, like 1.01 - Treasure of Zeus/1.02 - Between Friends/1.03 - What a Crockery, 1.11 - Battle Lines I/1.12 - Battle Lines II, and 1.19 - Lure of the Lyre/1.20 - Fame/1.21 - Lyre, Liar/1.22 - A Lady in Hades, since obviously they mention each other, and focusing on the more subtle references.

1.01 - Treasure of Zeus

  • Hercules and Iolaus's lines, "Expect the unexpected", is a reference to Cheiron's advice in the Young Hercules (Movie Pilot), "Always anticipate the unexpected."
  • As the boys race out of the cave, being chased by a fireball, they remember to jump over the spike-pit trap that Iolaus had triggered on their way in. This is a detail that could have easily been overlooked or forgotten, and I'm glad it was not!

1.02 - Between Friends

1.06 - Teacher's Pests

  • At the end of the ep, Jason steals Iolaus's tip with a "You owe me," to which Iolaus replies, "For-Oh, Kora's." which is probably a reference to that time in 1.02 - Between Friends when Jason paid for Iolaus's meal and Iolaus said he owed Jason one.

1.08 - Keeping Up With the Jasons

1.13 - Forgery

  • When Iolaus approaches Kora's window, he calls his "horse" Tabert. Rob Tapert is one of the executive producers of the show.

1.15 - Ares on Trial

  • After finding out that Iolaus chose the wrong answer for a test question, Hercules says, "Listen, next time we'll study together, all right?". He fulfills this promise in the episode 1.32 - Cram-Ped, when he rounds up the other cadets to help Iolaus study.

1.22 - A Lady in Hades

1.29 - Sisters

  • Kora mentions that she's tried bands before, and they didn't work. This may be a reference to Orpheus's concert in 1.20 - Fame when the very popular concert became infested with Bacchae, causing mass panic as everyone ran for their lives, and possibly leaving Kora's Inn with some bad publicity.
