* GreenEyedMonster: Even though he wanted to go to the dance with Lunella, Eduardo was already asked. He spends most of it looking at her longingly, and reacts with barely disguised envy whenever Marvin is brought up.

* ShoutOut: SecretIdentityChangeTrick: When she and Marvin resolve to fight off the moth aliens as Moon Girl and Kid Kree, Lunella loudly signals to Casey that she's going to go get them, leading her to shut off the lights so they can suit up. Funnily enough, their stilted acting is illustrated by the two of them turning into muppets.
* ShipTease: Eduardo has an extended romantic fantasy about dating Lunella when she asks him to the dance, but has to turn her down because he was already asked. She tries to fake a relationship with Marvin, and there do appear to be sparks, but neither of them are ready to pursue an actual relationship.
