** Bischa and Simon's way of saying goodbye is an arm clasp similar to the arm-wrestling scene from ''Film/{{Predator}}''.

* HurtingHero: Luz's HeroicBSOD is fresh on her mind thanks to the previous night's events, and she spends the first half of the A-plot sulking.

** Eda killed her first human friend while in the Owl Beast form.

** A drunkard in the tavern brings up Luz's BadassBoast and declaration of kicking the Emperor's ass.

* LampshadeHanging:
** Are we gonna question the fact that Eda keeps a ''shotgun'' under the couch!?
** After being so casually greeted by Ms. Traveler, Camila questions if anybody told her about her revival. King and Lilith simply shrug.

** After hearing about Boscha returning home seriously injured, Cat visits the Heiron residence to treat her injuries after Simon informs her what happened. And he only knew what happened because Cain told him, and this was after he had to let the top students wail on her. Plus, Athena allows them into their home before Nicole slams the door on them.

* SeriousBusiness: When Edric and Emira show up at the library to see Amity, they've come without their concealment stones, showing their true appearances in public. In addition, Emira calls Amity "Mittens" in a very quiet voice lacking the usual teasing tone and Edric's depression about Hunter shows in that he's been crying a lot.

* AbusiveParents: And some signs of ParentalNeglect are shown, too.
** Felicity is revealed to have pulled her daughter out of St. Epiderm, taking Felicia away from her friends just so she could have an inside source at Hexside to get her scoops on Luz and her friends after her promotion. She also tells her daughter that she'll have to walk home if she's unable to get any new information on Luz.
** Nicole also shows signs of this, refusing to take Boscha's injuries seriously and prefering she just learn to adapt to Glandus High's environment.

** Ghost being one of the Bat Queen's refugee palisman and Lilith's knowledge of Belos relying on palisman essence feel like they've already [[Fanfic/ABlightOnBonesborough happened before]]...

* PaperThinDisguise: Prof. Blanc's only method of disguise for the above moment was to use abomination goop as a big mustache. Bump tears it off, not fooled for a second.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In canon, Ghost debuted in "Eclipse Lake". Here they debut between the events of "Hunting Palismen" and "Eda's Requiem".
* AdaptationalExplanation: It's unclear where Amity got Ghost in canon. Here, she first meets Ghost while the Palisman is living in the woods of the Bat Queen. Ghost is also confirmed to be female in the LCU as opposed to their gender being unknown in the show.

* TheAce: Every top student at Glandus High excels in their respective track: along with Nina who's been established as the best Beast Keeper, there's Goredon (abomination), Bangles (formerly healing), Wesselton (plant), Ruth (potions), Kadabe (oracle), Cain Saltstar (construction) and Tito (bard). Emily's the strongest of all the students.

* AdaptationalExplanation: It's unclear where Amity got Ghost in canon. Here, she first meets Ghost while the Palisman is living in the woods of the Bat Queen.
* AlphaBitch: Emily Tricks couldn't embody this better if she tried: she's ''the'' top student of Glandus High, she has gold sleeves and leggings as part of her uniform and follows the school's "strong rules the weak" rule to the letter. She's even known as the "Queen of Glandus".

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Iago sees his job as a receptionist as a thankless one, claiming it's due to redirecting several calls from the Yokai a day and nobody appreciating him for it.

* EvilTeacher / SadistTeacher: Glandus is apparently full of these. One example of this is the school's coach, who physically abuses his students.

And he only knew what happened because Cain told him, and this was after he had to let the top students wail on her. Plus Athena allows them into their home before Nicole slams the door on them.

** Witch Rick is revealed to be one of Eda's ex-boyfriends and Summer, Katya's friend, is his granddaughter. He knows about Luz being a cambion and he has a portal gun that runs on Titan blood: problem is he hasn't been able to leave the Isles for some time since it's limited supply.

** The phrase "[[WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}} It's called a hustle, sweetheart]]" is used again when a main character extorts someone.

** Luz asks a [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz winged]] [[Film/TheWizardOfOz monkey]] how he got to the Boiling Isles. He mentions that a twister brought him here, but he doesn't recommend it since in his experience witches and twisters don't mix well.

* InterdimensionalTravelDevice: Witch Rick supplies Luz with a portal gun that runs on Titan's Blood instead of fluid; only thing is the blood is unstable and of low supply due to drying up so she basically has one use.
