Wen gave her famous cartoon counterpart a shout-out during the Season 6 finale of her ABC show.In the finale, the heroes had to stop an alien entity from entering into our world. One seen in particular sees Wen's Agent May wield a sword and take a fighting stance similar to the one taken by Mulan during her climactic showdown with Shan Yu.

"I love coming up with Easter Eggs and love it more when fans find them," she said.
