Trivia: SPOILERS: In season two, episode seven, when Father Bryce explodes and it is shown over and over from a multitude of angles, it is a direct homage to the 1978 film "The Fury." At the end of that film, a character explodes in a similar fashion, being shown over and over again from different angles. Series creator Don Mancini has discussed how much he enjoys "The Fury" in the past, and has thrown in some subtle references to it in the "Chucky" franchise.
Trivia: The combination on Dr. Mixter's safe is "110988." November 9th, 1988 (or "11/09/88") was the release date of the original "Child's Play."
Trivia: Lachlan Watson, the nonbinary actor who plays Glen and Glenda, wanted to approach the characters in a unique way. Rather than making them traditionally male or female, they made both characters nonbinary and not limited by gender norms. Watson eventually figured out how to describe them by likening them to rock music, with Glenda being "glam" and Glen being "grunge." The crew got excited about this, because they suddenly weren't limited by traditional gender expectations and could experiment.
Trivia: The human versions of Glen and Glenda are both played by Lachlan Watson, a non-binary actor. For scenes where both Glen and Glenda were present, Watson would perform the scene as Glenda with the other actors, then go back and reshoot the entire scene as Glen by themself, so that Glen could be digitally added to the original footage.
Trivia: When Joe tries to force Tiffany to give him a blowjob, Jennifer Tilly came up with the idea of him pushing her head down and her crawling between his legs. She wanted to "escape" from him in a comedic way. Joe Pantoliano was nervous about it, because he thought it would be unrealistic and mean for a man would push a woman's head down forcefully to perform oral sex. Jennifer Tilly had to tactfully explain that it actually happens quite often in real life.
Trivia: WWE wrestler Liv Morgan was brought on as a guest-star specifically because she's said many times that "Child's Play" is her favorite horror movie and that she's a huge Chucky fan. She's even joked that her "dream role" would be to get killed by him. Series creator Don Mancini cast her (and had Chucky kill her as per her wish) as a thank you for being a fan.
Trivia: Something for the film score geeks - In season two, episode five, when Tiffany reveals the original Glen doll to the human version of Glen, for about thirty seconds in the background, you can faintly hear a new recording of the theme to "Seed of Chucky," the film where Glen/Glenda was first introduced. Later, in episode eight, when "G.G." is revealed in doll form, we again hear snippets of a new recording from the "Seed of Chucky" score. (Taken from the ending of the track "Pride of Chucky").

Trivia: Father Bryce at one point offers the advice "Idle hands are the devil's playground." While it is a fairly common phrase, this is also a subtle reference to the 1999 horror-comedy movie "Idle Hands," which starred Devon Sawa... who also happens to play Father Bryce. Hence the phrase being included and delivered with a knowing smile by Sawa. Around the time the episode aired, Sawa also uploaded a video on his social media of him briefly reprising his character Anton from the film.
Answer: They were blamed for the death of Jake's foster brother, which was deemed a terrible accident, and they were sent to the reform school as a punishment. Presumably, when they had to leave the reform school given what happened, they were instead given community service as punishment.
