7 | * BeYourself: Tom willingly decides to undergo a demoncism to remove his demonic energy in the hopes of it alleviating his anger issues for Star's sake. After seeing what a demoncism did to Pony Head's ex, fundamentally changing who he is as a person, Star resolves to put a stop to it. After Tom awakens post-demoncism in agony and is told that it would just be the first session in a lengthy regimen, Star assures him the desire and effort to improve himself is the important part. |
8 | * CallBack: Star decides to collect on Tom's corn-shake offer from the end of "Club Snubbed". |
9 | * CannotKeepASecret: It doesn't take much prodding for Star to get Ponyhead to blab about Tom's demoncism. |
10 | * CooldownHug: Star gives one to Tom when his demoncism apparently gets out of hand. |
11 | * CorrelationCausationGag: Star is punching a tree when an explosion caused by Tom's demoncism occurs nearby. Pony Head thinks it was caused by Star punching too hard. |
12 | * EmptyShell: Unfortunately, the side effect of getting a Demoncism is that the subject is robbed of all emotion and any semblance of personality. |
13 | * ExplosivePunch: Assumed; Star is angry at Tom and Marco over the former wanting to undergo a demoncism, and she leaves to go [[PercussiveTherapy punch some trees]] with Pony Head cheering her on. Later, the demoncism goes horribly wrong, [[CorrelationCausationGag setting the forest on fire just as one of Star's punches connects]]. |
14 | -->'''Pony Head:''' Harder! HARDER! '''''*BOOM*''''' ...Dang, not ''that'' hard. |
15 | * IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: How Ponyhead ends up spilling. |
16 | * OverlyNervousFlopSweat: Ponyhead is seen sweating profusely while resisting the effort to outright tell Star about Tom's demoncism. |
17 | * PicturePerfectPresentation: Star looks at a video of Seahorse as a punk rocker smashing thing onstage. She then puts the phone aside to look at present-day Seahorse, a mild-mannered customer service representative with NerdGlasses. |
18 | * ReallyGetsAround: When Ponyhead suggests they ask her ex where demoncisms are held, a frustrated Star asks "Which ex?" She then apologizes for sounding so harsh and judgmental about it. |
19 | * ShaggyDogStory: Tom's demoncism is a success... but they were only able to remove one of the ''thousands'' of demons inhabiting him, and getting rid of them all would require a ''thirteen-year'' regimen. Tom decides it's too risky and not worth the effort. |
20 | * ShipTease: At the end of the episode, Tom and Star end up holding hands, much to the surprise (and annoyance) of Ponyhead. |
21 | * StepfordSmiler: After his demoncism, Seahorse is left a mild-mannered doormat who cheerfully parrots customer-service stock phrases no matter what others seem to say. |
22 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Presumably, an average demoncism doesn't involve a giant forest fire and the ritualists running and cowering for their lives. Tom is apparently so powerful that removing his demonic energy would require a ''thirteen year regimen'' of demoncisms. |
23 | * WeirderThanUsual: Star notes this of Tom at the beginning of the episode, because it's very unlike Tom to avoid her. He's always been weird, but not like this. |
