8	!!Tropes that appear in this Chapter:
9	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Raine Whispers, future head of the Bard Coven, debuts the same day the events of Season 1's "The First Day" have taken place instead of "Hunting Palisman" in Season 2.
10	* AffectionateNickname: Lilith tends to call Amity her "Starlight".
11	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite their current problems with Luz, Willow and Amity attend the séance to give her their support.
12	* BigDamnReunion: It's brief but after 14 years, Luz gets to see her birth mother, Camila Noceda, who gets to see her baby all grown up, again.
13	* BrickJoke: King returns home after being left behind last chapter.
14	* CallBack:
15	** The aftermaths of the events of "[[Recap/LuzClawthorneHexsidesNumberOneDelinquentWitchChapter8 Witch's Duel or Don't]]", "[[Recap/LuzClawthorneHexsidesNumberOneDelinquentWitchChapter11 Coming to Terms]]", "[[Recap/LuzClawthorneHexsidesNumberOneDelinquentWitchChapter23 Doctor's Visits and Party Incidents]]" and "[[Recap/LuzClawthorneHexsidesNumberOneDelinquentWitchChapter25 Good from the Bad]]" from Amity and Lilith's [=POV's=] are shown.
16	** Like in "Good from the Bad", Luz [[ForcefulKiss pecks]] Amity by surprise and Amity reciprocates with a kiss of her own. While the last time had them freeze up from shock, here they share an embrace since they're now girlfriends comfortable with showing such affection.
17	* TheCameo: Tibblet-Tibblie Grimm Hammer the Second appears in a flashback.
18	* ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: After Amity tells Puck about her date with Luz and how it ended with Luz dropping her off at home, he asks if anything eventful happened. Blushing, Amity tells him about the séance instead.
19	* ContinuityNod:
20	** Amity is shown reading the books she got in "[[Recap/LuzClawthorneHexsidesNumberOneDelinquentWitchChapter24 Human Date]]" before Edric comes into her room to talk.
21	** Edric mentions Emira having a shrine to her crush, Viney.
22	* CryIntoChest: After being brought home from the party, Amity hugs Lilith and proceeds to do this as Lilith comforts her. Before, Lilith encouraged this after learning about the mugging with Amity crying into her shoulder.
23	* ADayInTheLimelight: A large portion of the chapter is dedicated to Lilith for a change.
24	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The second Luz and Amity hook up, everyone in the living room shouts "Finally!" King and Willow even say they were too obvious.
25	* FlashbackBPlot: Everything that happened between Lilith and Amity since the covention up to now is revealed.
26	* FlashbackCut: Lilith has two; the first is to when Amity called her "mom" after Raine asked her if she ever wanted kids. The second is back to when she, her sister and their romantic partners were students and she first considered joining the Emperor's Coven.
27	* ForcedOutOfTheCloset: A variant. While Luz is already out as bisexual, she worries about telling Camila she likes girls at the séance and how she'll react to her liking Amity. The decision is ripped out of her hands when Amity introduces herself as Luz's girlfriend, but luckily [[OpenMindedParent Camila's]] more than okay with Luz's orientation and their relationship.
28	* ForcefulKiss: Luz does this again, kissing Amity's nose before she goes home. This time, Amity responds with a peck on the cheek.
29	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
30	** Puck picks up Amity's "Peter Pan" book for a moment, interested in how she got it.
31	** Tibbles' father becomes furious about Eda destroying his stand in the past, and it'll end up leading him to try getting revenge.
32	* FreudianSlip: Amity called Lilith "mom" during a training session. Lilith brushes it off, but is shown to appreciate it.
33	* GenerationXerox: Tibblet-Tibblie Grimm Hammer the Second looks like present day Tibbles but with a mustache.
34	* TheGhost:
35	** This is the first time one of the Blight twins appear without the other; in this case Edric appears without Emira, who he leaves alone with her shrine while he talked to Amity.
36	** Raine mentions both Eberwolf and Scooter Crane in their introductory scene.
37	* HeadbuttOfLove: Familial example. Camila does this to Luz just before her spirit disappears.
38	* InternalReveal:
39	** Lilith's known about Amity's mugging since the morning after the moonlight conjuring.
40	** Puck's given the deets about Amity's date with Luz. Lilith has already been informed.
41	** Willow learns that Luz and Amity kissed.
42	** Raine is brought up to speed on Eda's life since they parted ways, courtesy of Lilith.
43	* ItsOkayToCry: While embracing Amity after learning about her mugging, Lilith tells her goddaughter this to insure to her that it doesn't make her weak.
44	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Puck continues to observe the "story" of everyone's lives.
45	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Raine hasn't had any contact with Eda since they broke up, so they're more than stunned to hear she has a kid ''and'' that she married a human.
46	* LuminescentBlush: Per the norm Luz and Amity, due to everyone admitting how obvious their mutual feelings were to them. It becomes more meaningful since they get together, both of them having them after their {{Forceful Kiss}}es.
47	* MamaBear: "Godmama" Bear, more like it. Lilith may only be Amity's godmother, but she loves her nonetheless and is determined to protect her.
48	* MeaningfulName: With "aspiration" meaning "hope", the title chalks up Luz's hopes of seeing Camila again coming to pass.
49	* MythologyGag: ''[[Theatre/{{Cats}} Rats]]'', mentioned in "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E4KeepingUpAFearAnces Keeping Up A-fear-ances]]", is mentioned at one point.

52	* ParentalSubstitute: Amity seems to have started seeing Lilith as a surrogate mother due to how much their relationship had improved.
53	* PetTheDog: Several times throughout the FlashbackBPlot, Lilith comforts Amity after each traumatizing event she experiences telling her she's not weak and to not be afraid to cry.
54	* PointOfDivergence:
55	** Unlike canon, Lilith ''is'' the teacher Amity called "mom".
56	** Willow, Gus, and Amity all meet Camila between "The First Day" and "Really Small Problems" instead of "Thanks to Them" two seasons later. Luz also comes out to Camila as bi and reveals she's dating Amity before said episode.
57	* RelationshipUpgrade: After the séance ends and they clear the air, Luz and Amity decide to [[OfficialCouple officially become girlfriends]].
58	* ResolvedNoodleIncident: Amity called Lilith "mom" a few weeks before the Covention. Lilith admits to Raine she enjoyed it.
