* CharacterDevelopment: It's subtle, but both [[VillainProtagonist Zim]] and [[HeroAntagonist Dib]] get some in this episode, which goes on to inform their dynamic for the rest of the series.
** Previous episodes focused more on Zim's attempts to blend into Earth society, and any harm done was only in an attempt to come off as more "human" (i.e. Bestest Friend, Dark Harvest, etc.). The only human Zim ever directly targeted was Dib, and only because Dib posed a very real threat to Zim's mission as the only one to see him as a dangerous alien invader. Here, though, Zim dooms the ''entire'' class to a [[MemeticMutation moosey fate]], not just Dib, as retaliation for being bullied by them in school. Though it's all PlayedForLaughs, for all intents and purposes, this is Zim's MoralEventHorizon.
** Initially, Dib's obsession with exposing Zim as an alien came from a need for validation rather than out of any genuine heroism. It's here where he realizes that, as the only one to see through Zim's disguise (and care), it's his responsibility to stop Zim's plans for the good of all mankind rather than to turn him into a respected paranormal investigator.
--->'''Dib:''' No! Without me the Earth is doomed! I can't let Zim run free, not while there's still hope!
