The title of this episode is a reference to "Operation Firebird," the name Henry gives to the rescue mission in the Underworld, and to two mythological birds:

The firebird from Slavic mythology, a magical bird from a faraway land which is both a blessing and a bringer of doom to its captor.

The phoenix from Greek mythology, a long-living bird associated with fire and the sun. It is cyclically regenerated or reborn, as it obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.
