* NotSoDifferent: This is the chapter that first establishes that Tak is more like Zim than she'd probably like to admit, in her egotism and desire to win no matter what.

None

Added DiffLines:

Tenn struggles to acclimate to living on Earth as Tak's partner.

----
*AntiAdvice: While at the diner, Skoodge gives Tenn some friendly advice to deal with being stuck working for Tak. She writes it off as "sad and stupid", but still finds the drive to keep going.
*BerserkButton: Tak ''hates'' being compared to Zim.
*ButForMeItWasTuesday: Dib's reaction to Tenn joining the skool is to casually mention that a new alien arriving to TakeOverTheWorld is just another Tuesday to him by now.
*ADayInTheLimelight: This chapter focuses on Tenn as she adjusts to life on Earth, with Tak alone being the only other main character to show up more than once or twice.
*DrowningMySorrows: Tenn does this with soda and doughnuts to deal with the stress of being forced to work with Tak.
*EvenEvilHasStandards: Being a pragmatist and a professional, Tenn feels that Tak is far too petty in her rivalry with Zim.
*MythologyGag:
**It's revealed that Invader Larb was officially declared the best Invader, something that happened in Issue 18 of the comic series.
**Zim is briefly shown in his "scheming nook", which featured in Issue 13.
**Tenn at one point wonders if there's something in the food making humans stupid. In Issue 21, Gaz (who is [[FreakyFridayFlip in Zim's body at the time]]) takes over the world partially thanks to solving world hunger via food laced with chemicals that make people stupid.
**The diner that Tenn and Skoodge meet at is called ''Jhonen's'', after Creator/JhonenVasquez.
*NiceJobFixingItVillain: Tak ignoring Tenn's advice to carry out her latest plan leads to it backfiring and almost destroying her base and killing them both.
*NotSoDifferent: This is the chapter that first establishes that Tak is more like Zim than she'd probably like to admit, in her egotism and desire to win no matter what.
*PassThePopcorn: Zim's reaction to Tak accidentally creating and losing control of a storm that threatens her and the city is to sit back and watch it play out, ordering GIR to bring him some popcorn to enjoy it with.
*PillarOfLight: One bursts out of Tak's base when she supercharges the Meekrob crystal. All this energy has the side effect of creating a massive storm.
*SeenItAll: Norlock's reaction to seeing the massive energy storm over the city? Casually commenting on it and calmly going back inside the base.
*ShoutOut: The chapter’s title is a reference to ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld''.
