* BeautifulDreamer: A rare, motherly example when Pearl reveals to Steven that she watches him in his sleep. This obviously creeps Steven out...
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A nicer version when Steven tells Lion that he wishes to know more about his mother. Lion accomplishes this by trying to shove Steven's face into his mane, oblivious to the fact Steven can't breathe in there.
* BookEnds: In a way. In the beginning, Sadie mentions how her mom use to make her packed lunches for when she's at work, which embarrassed her a lot. At the episode's end, after watching Rose's message to Steven with Steven, Sadie comes around and reconciles with her mom.
* CatsAreMean: Seems to be the case when Lion keeps trying to suffocate Steven, until he realizes that Lion's actually trying to send him into his mane.
* ContinuityNod:
** Lion's mane holds the sword from "Lion 2: The Movie" and a Mr. Universe T-shirt from "Laser Light Cannon", among other things.
** Steven gives Lars a "chest high five" as he did in "Lars And The Cool Kids".
* KissingDiscretionShot: Rose's video tape ends with the camera turning off, probable because of lack of film or charge, before she and Greg share a kiss.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: While playing around with the effects on Greg's camera, Rose triggers a star-shaped IrisOut as the show usually ends on.
* PocketDimension: Lion's mane leads to one.
* PoorCommunicationKills: As in "Lion 2: The Movie", Lion can't just tell Steven what to do, so he ends up nearly suffocating him in an attempt to comply with Steven's wish.
* SequelEpisode: For "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E10StevensLion Steven's Lion]]" and "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E17Lion2TheMovie Lion 2: The Movie]]".
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: Rose's speech implies that two gems of the same kind (in this case, two Rose Quartz gems) can't exist at the same time.
* VideoWills: Rose leaves one for Steven inside Lion that tells him he will enjoy the world.
-->'''Rose Quartz:''' Steven, we can't both exist, so I'm going to become half of you, and I want you to know that everytime you love being yourself, that's ''me'', loving you and loving being you, because you're going to be something extraordinary...you're going to be a [[HumansAreSpecial human being]]...Take care of them, Steven.
