** While hiding out from the Stranger, Sandy looks over the threat E3 had received in "Letters To The Author". Back in that chapter, we'd been led to believe that was yet another thing the Stranger/Bus Driver had done, but she soon figures out that this isn't the case...and that there may be more to E3 than what we generally see in the stories.

!!Do the Gasmask Shuffle
* Chapter 27 reveals that ''someone'' wants [[RealityWarper the Fiddley Thing]] for nefarious purposes.
-->'''Linkara:''' [[OhCrap It's gone! The Fiddely Thing is gone!]][...]If ''[[BigBad he]]'' gets it...we're all doomed.
* From chapter 29:
-->'''Linkara:''' I think he's deferring to someone. Someone who wants the Mk. II Thing as well. And...[[ThereIsAnother the Mk. III.]]\\
...\\
''To describe the multiverse would be like describing the night sky. Each universe was a vibrant light against unfathomable darkness. The lights stretched for eons in all directions. [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ Then, all at once, every single light began to fade. Over about ten seconds, they grew dimmer and dimmer, until all ceased to exist. Even the darkness seemed to fade, until… There was nothing.]]''
* Chapter 31, which finally reveals who Richtofen was working for...
-->'''Danny:''' ''(eyes wide)'' [[OhCrap No...you can't be...]]\\
'''[[BigBad ???]]:''' Can't I?\\
''(the figure takes off his cloak)''\\
'''[[FutureMeScaresMe Dan Phantom]]:''' You seem to have forgotten I'm ''inevitable.''
!!Terror Australis Incognita
* Chapter 20: Dani is reading up on a group of supposedly destroyed witch hunters when she discovers a secret message in a picture...
--> '''Dani:''' ''(reading)'' "Be warned – we cannot be stopped. We control the governments and the people – we will cleanse the earth of chaos and witchcraft. Signed in the year..."\\
''(her eyes go wide)''\\
'''Dani:''' [[OhCrap This message was [written] two years ago.]]
!!Mess Effect
* The last line in the Gaol/Governor storyline ends up revealing it to be a part of the MythArc:
--> "Sam? Do you know anything about 'El Dorado'?"
* Also related to the above, the reveal of the identity of the main villain of the El Dorado arc:
--> '''Dani:''' Wh-what are you?\\
'''[[HiddenVillain ???]]:''' Me? I am [[NotQuiteDead the Governor.]]
!!The Final Push
* Chapter 7: There's an entire ''letter'' composed of wham lines, specifically the reveal that Jack Fenton's father -- Danny's grandfather -- is both using the alias [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Fiddleford McGucket and the writer of the Journals.]] And then there's the name Maddie found on the top of the Fenton family tree...
--> ''[[Myth/KingArthur Arthur Pendragon]]''
* Chapter 10: Jazz finds a note...

''YOU ARE BEING GROOMED. ESCAPE ATHENA ASAP''\\
''ANON''
* Chapter 12: [[KilledOffForReal "They had killed the Fiddley Thing."]]
* Chapter 15: Grim's ''entire'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards Madame Athena is this.
--> "''I'm'' a liar, Madame?[...]And what about ''you'', Madame? [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Have]] ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion you]]'' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion been honest with your associates?]] I mean, you took Jasmine under your wing without much deliberation, didn't you? You've trained her, brought her into your trust and made her think you as a friend, a ''mentor''...Does she know what waits at the end of the line? You've made cattle of her, Athena. You've fattened her up for slaughter and you're not even sorry about it. [[AtLeastIAdmitIt The difference between you and me is that I]] ''[[AtLeastIAdmitIt admit]]'' [[AtLeastIAdmitIt I'm a sociopathic liar]]. Do you?"
* Chapter 25:
--> '''Athena:''' [[TheChosenOne Jazz is the key.]] She will be the one who decides the fate of the world. Either she will allow [=ReGenesis=] to start a new dark age, or...or she'll die. Those are our only options.\\

'''Mystery Figure:''' My name is Tammy Turner. [[KidFromTheFuture I come from twenty-five years in the future.]]
* Chapter 31:
--> '''Dipper:''' King Arthur had a son, Galahad. A son with Morgan le Fay. His name was Mordred. Either Mabel and I are Mordred's descendants, or Wendy is. Which means we can close the vortex.\\

* Chapter 17 sheds some new light on our BigBad team, PURITY...
--> '''Ford:''' ''Never!'' I'd never give this to you! [[ANaziByAnyOtherName You're just like the Nazis!]]\\
'''[[PsychicPowers Jarvis]]:''' ...just like the Nazis? They're...they're not just like the Nazis. They ''are'' the Nazis.
* Chapter 24 starts out as what looks like a standalone. Then...
--> '''Trigger:''' Just a question. How'd you know about this Zim thing?\\
'''Agent:''' Oh, some other government agency grabbed him. Nothing to worry about.\\
'''Powers:''' What agency? There's nobody else operating in the area!\\
'''Agent:''' Um...PURITY. Why?
* Chapter 29:
--> '''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica:''' Where are the hostages, Wilkus?\\
'''Wilkus:''' [[RedHerring They're long gone. Along with our best troops. What you've fought today was merely a sacrificial rear-guard. You were never intended to lose.]]
* The last lines in chapter 31 set up the plot for next year:
--> '''Admiral Massinger:''' My name is Admiral Eugene Massinger, and I am the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. We're interested in seeing PURITY revived.\\
'''General Rausseman:''' Does the President know?\\
'''Admiral Massinger:''' What the President doesn't know won't hurt him.

-->''"[[TheMole J. Edgar Hoover]] hung up the phone and sat back in his office chair. The infiltration of the United States was going just as planned."''
* Chapter 23:
--> '''PURITY trooper:''' What do we do[[note]]with Vlad Masters[[/note]], sir?\\
'''Rausseman:''' [[KilledOffForReal Kill him.]]
* Chapter 25:
--> "There's three of them; they have no names, but are codenamed WILHELM, FREIDRICH, and BARBAROSSA. They each carry a battery of large missiles - very short ranged, but extremely destructive. The missile warheads are based on stolen blueprints for the Grand Slam - the so-called 'earthquake bomb'.\\
\\
They are u-boats, [[OhCrap and they are slipping quietly into New York Harbour.]]

!!Blue Alert:
* Chapter 5 is framed with an editorial criticizing [[DayOfTheJackboot PURITY's control of America]], with the identity of the narrator of this editorial unclear until he says this:
-->''"Spider-Man, [[TheAtoner I am sorry]]."''
* From "The Silver Man and the Burning Flame", as Bucky comes across the silver man (strongly implied to be the Silver Surfer) still sealed in the same tube he's been in since the Soviets found him in 1945:
-->'''Bucky''': You too, huh? Well, let's get you out...
* Fulton's line at the end of "House Call" raises the stakes considerably:
--> ''"If the offensive fails, [[NukeEm we're nuking them.]]"''
!!This is fine
* At first, "Reds" seems to be about the US military fighting off advanced Soviet tech. Then we get to this line at the end:
-->''"We've lost control of West Germany and they're heading towards France and the Low Countries; plus the Soviets are getting their asses kicked in Poland, which isn't something I ever expected to be upset about."''
* "Oh No, Zombies!" looks like it's going to be a typical comedy story. Then...
-->"He thinks this is funny. Walking corpses devouring people. Coming after children. He's watching over this, and instead of doing anything, he writes it down and packages it as a 'comedy.' He thinks this is ''funny.'' He thought what happened to me was ''funny.'' So. Very. ''Funny.''"
* "error-titlecorrupted" ''finally'' gives us the Stranger's true identity, which is coupled with a change in story titles:
