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, and books, 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
- When Iolaus is instructing Nysus Gaius on the pole exercises at the Academy, he tells him that he's seen Hercules do the same exercise blindfolded. This could be a reference to Young Hercules (Movie Pilot), where Hercules trains at night privately with Cheiron.
1.06 Teachers 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
- The subtle exchange between Jason and Iolaus ("He knows how much I miss my father." "Yeah, we all do.") is a reference to Young Hercules (Movie Pilot), when King Aeson died.
1.22 A Lady in Hades
- Once in the Elysian Fields, Jason takes the chance to reunite with his father King Aeson. King Aeson died in Young Hercules (Movie Pilot).
