Another Swollen Eyeball agent, envious of Dib's adventures, sets in motion a plan to get him and his friends kicked out of the Network.

*ActorAllusion: This chapter sees Zim attack Team Save Earth with a MonsterClown. Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz, in addition to voicing Zim, also voiced [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Billy]], whose fear of clowns led to the birth of the "DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL!" meme.
*AnAxeToGrind: The Cyborg Death Clown in wields one after stumbling across it in the supposed haunted house.
*EveryoneHasStandards: The senior Swollen Eyeball agents all dislike Dib, but are disgusted at Quis' attempt to frame him and get him kicked out of the organization, noting that for all of Dib's flaws, he wouldn't sink that low.
*EvilerThanThou: Zim barely shows up in this chapter, yet easily proves himself superior to Quis as a villain, with his Cyborg Death Clown presented as a much more serious threat to Quis’ fake haunted house.
*GenreSavvy: Steve repeatedly cites his knowledge of horror movies as Team Save Earth explore a supposedly haunted house.
*HauntedHouse: Quis sets up a fake one as part of his plan to set up Dib and his friends to look like frauds.
*HoistByHisOwnPetard: Quis' plan is to set up Dib to look like he was running a ScoobyDooHoax and get him kicked out of the SEN for fraud. Instead, events play out so that Quis is exposed, with him being the one kicked out.
*MonsterClown: The Cyborg Death Clown unleashed by Zim that chases Team Save Earth through Quis' fake haunted house.
*NeverMyFault: Quis' reaction to getting kicked out of the SEN is to blame Dib, despite it being a result of his own scheming.
*ScoobyDooHoax: Quis’ plan is one of these. He creates a fake haunted house full of every horror movie cliche, intending to let Dib and his friends investigate it, get convinced it's real, and then report it to the SEN, before swooping in and "exposing" it as a fake, in the hopes that Dib's group would get blamed and then expelled from the organization for fraud. Instead, Quis' activities are exposed, and he's the one kicked out.
*ShoutOut: At one point, the Cyborg Death Clown [[Film/TheShining breaks open a door with an axe and shouts "Here's Johnny!"]].
*SpannerInTheWorks: Zim inadvertently serves as one to Quis' plans, as the intervention of his Cyborg Death Clown ends up exposing his hoax to Dib.
*UnknownRival: Arnold Quis/Agent Spider Monkey is this to Dib. Dib barely knows he exists, and is clueless to the fact that Quis is envious of him to the point viewing him as an ArchEnemy. When Quis' actions get him kicked out of the SEN, he pins the blame solely on Dib, who isn't even aware of what happened.
