** In "No Pain, No Gain", Devin [[spoiler: pushes through her injured ankle]] to go in for one final penalty kick, in a classic DownToTheLastPlay scenario. She makes the goal, The Kicks beat Pinewood, and as the team jumps up and down celebrating, [[spoiler: she injures the ankle even worse. The episode, and the season, ends with her writhing in pain while her teammates call for a medic.]]

* {{Unishment}}: Played with. "Breakaway" sees Devin getting the standard punishments for the events of "Go Big or Go Home": Two weeks without her phone, laptop, and, because she mouthed off about the previous two, television privileges. She's initially as devastated as you might expect, but by the end of the episode, she decides that she didn't mind being unplugged for a little while. She even declines her parents' offer to return all of the above early. Meanwhile, her having to use her mom's computer for homework proves to be a gigantic pain in the ass for everyone else since they can't use the computer themselves or watch TV as it distracts her.

* TheUnfavorite: Though they don't mean to, Devin's parents visibly favor her over Bailey, not because they like Devin better, but because her talent at soccer gets a lot of attention. They set out to change this once they realize it, especially when they see how talented Bailet is at photography.

* JerkassHasAPoint: In "Choosing Sides", Mirabelle brutally calls out Devin for waffling on the decision to replace Zoey as goalie, despite her obvious lack of skill at the position. There's nothing nice about her words, but everyone involved, including Zoey, agrees that Mirabelle is right. Devin eventually comes around too.

* GoodLuckCharm: Devin's headband. Her team back in Connecticut got it for her after an injury and she made a quick recovery. In "Head Games", she loses it and The Kicks get her a new one.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Among the punishments for Devin's sneakout are the loss of her laptop and the loss of television privileges. This means that to do her homework, she must use her mother's computer downstairs where she can be monitored.
