History Recap / ClassS01E02TheCoachWithTheDragonTattoo

* ADeathInTheLimelight: Mr Armitage. After a very minor, but recurring, role in season eight of ''Series/DoctorWho'', and a sizeable role last episode, he's a likable comic relief foil to Miss Quill until his sudden death in this episode.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Miss Quill is baffled by the students' lack of surprise when she tells them that the school inspector was a robot, though in their defence, they were facing down a skin-peeling dragon when she told them, so they might not of even heard her.

* CurseCutShort: Quill tells the Inspector "Whoever you are, I am going to string you up on that wall by [[HardCut your b..."]] When Armitage is reading the incident back to her in a meeting, he confesses to not even knowing whatthe swear words she used were.

* BrokenPedestal: Ram discovers that the football coach who he respected and wanted to win the approval of is holding an alien as prisoner to make himself stronger and is happy for humans to be killed to feed it.
* CurseCutShort: Quill tells the Inspector "Whoever you are, I am going to string you up on that wall by [[HardCut your b..."]]
* DamselInDistress: The female dragon could technically count as this, as she is trapped on Dawson's skin and if the image isn't kept intact she'll die.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: Mr Armitage. After a very minor but recurring role in season eight of ''Series/DoctorWho'', he's a likable comic relief foil to Miss Quill until his sudden death in this episode.
* EaglelandOsmosis: The depiction of Coach Dawson's role at the school is much closer to that of an American high school football coach than the usual situation in Britain, where school sports are much less SeriousBusiness. In the scene where Ram and Tanya encounter Dawson while investigating the scene of the cleaner's murder at night, it's explicitly said that he isn't a teacher. In Britain, hardly any school would employ someone just to coach a school team, and the role is almost always taken by one or more of the PE teachers, occasionally helped by someone who teaches a different subject but enjoys sport. At any rate, Dawson almost certainly '''should''' be a teacher. Although it should be noted that Coach Dawson was likely a PE Teacher as well and Tanya debated his status as a teacher due to him only teaching PE. Also, the only people who didn't know who he was were Charlie (new to the school) and Tanya (who jumped a few years) and were unlikely to have previously taken PE with the Coach.

* GoThroughMe: Mr Armitage nobly sets himself between the students and the dragon that has suddenly materialised in his office. It doesn't end well.
* HeroicBSOD: Ram is hit hard by the death of his girlfriend and it's making his life difficult.

* MonsterIsAMummy: It turns out the dragon is killing people on the orders of Coach Dawson, so the blood can feed his mate who is trapped on Dawson's skin. When Ram points out that he can just skin Dawson, the dragon grabs Dawson and leaves Earth.

* ParentalObliviousness: Averted. After an entire episode of failing in football due to his new prosthetic leg, Ram's father sees him practising and asks if his inability to play well is due to a physical condition. After everyone not present at prom night assuming Ram was distraught over his girlfriend's 'disappearance', Ram finally recounts the full story to his father, who takes it rather well, and helps him train with his new disability.
* {{Robosexual}}: Quill kissing the Ofsted robot. (But, to be fair, she didn't realise he was a robot at the time...)

* SherlockScan: Ms. Quill does one to the Inspector, leading her to eventually figure out that he isn't a normal Ofsted inspector. She's surprised to find that he was a robot after the dragon attacks them, though.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. While there are no actual therapists, Tanya and Ram take the time to talk about their trauma. Tanya tells Ram how she deals with it to help him.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Miss Quill is baffled by the students' lack of surprise when she tells them that the school inspector was a robot.

* ADeathInTheLimelight: Mr Armitage. After a very minor but recurring role in Series Eight of Doctor Who, he's a likable comic relief foil to Miss Quill until his sudden death in this episode.

* NoBodyLeftBehind: Due to this occurring in the last episode, Rachel is considered missing by everyone else. Ram's declarations that she's dead is taken as an outburst from a worried boyfriend.

* WeirdnessCensor: Discussed. Charlie is surprised that everyone at school is acting like nothing happened at the prom and Tanya mentions that Coal has body count way above average.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted, while there are no actual therapists, Tanya and Ram take the time to talk about their trauma. Tanya tells Ram how she deals with it to help him.

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: Mr Armitage is suspicious of April, Charlie and Tanya when they mention that they know a female cleaner is missing.

* SealedEvilInACan: The female dragon is trapped on Dawsons' skin, though Dawson claims he can control her. However it turns out it's her mate who is performing the murders.

* TheVoiceless: The Inspector, who never speaks and when Quill asks him what he writes he writes in the notebook rather then answering her.

* MonsterIsAMummy: It turns out the dragon is killing people on the orders of Coach Dawson, so the blood can feed his mate who is trapped on Dawson's skin. When Ram points out that he can just skin Dawson the dragon leaves Earth with Dawson.
