5!!Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:
6* BilingualBonus: Detective Ventura agrees with Camila's statement about the Latino community can't comprehend the idea something they've been told their entire life is wrong by saying "Si, yo se. Mi mama no quiso que yo ser un policia, dijo que eso era "trabjao de hombres"" ("Yes, I know. My mother didn't want me to be a cop, said it was "a man's job.")
7* CallBack: The Lyft driver who gave the girls a ride in "The Sleepover" mentions this to Camila and Oum.
8* CallForward: Oum brings up the [[Recap/AmphibiaS3E07TempleFrogs Thai community and the meetings at the Thai Temple]]. Her [[Recap/AmphibiaS3E09AnneSterminator workout room]] is also mentioned.
9* ADayInTheLimelight: Since the one-shot is set on Earth, it focuses on Camila and Oum.
10* ExperimentedInCollege: {{Implied}}. Camila states she stopped going to church while she was in college because she questioned what she was taught about her catholic upbringing.
11* HateSink: Ms. Byrant is [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain a homophobic teacher of SJMS]] [[TheFundamentalist who called Luz an evil witch just because she kissed Anne]] during the dance and accuses her of having 'sinful' ways. She then [[HeteronormativeCrusader continued her behaviours and suggests she and Anne go to re-education camps]] in front of Camila and Oum, [[LackOfEmpathy knowing the girls have just gone missing]]. Karma serves her hard when Oum and Camila put her in her place after such comments.
12* ImmediateSequel: The one-shot begins the night the girls disappeared.
13* InternalReveal: Camila and Mae learn about what really happened between their daughters at the dance.
14* MissingChild: This chapter is dedicated to the parents dealing with their daughters' disappearances.
15* OpenMindedParent: Although Camila and Oum are shocked by the possibility that their daughters ran away out of fear towards how they'd react to their orientations, they both don't hesitate to say they still would've accepted them regardless.
16** Additionally, Camila goes on to say that after Luz was born, she started attending church again so she could raise her daughter to have a good moral grounding.
17* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Both Oum and Camila lay into Ms. Bryant for calling their daughters sinners for their "supposed" orientations.
18* ShoutOut: The police officer working on the case of the girls' disappearance is named Detective Katherine Ventura. Bound to remind you of [[Film/AceVentura another detective named Ventura]].
19* TragicKeepsake: After finding Luz's drawing of Anne, Camila has it framed and gives it to Oum to give to Anne when she returns.
20* TranquilFury: Camila remains very calm but angry when she chews out Ms. Bryant.
21* WhamEpisode: Camila and Oum learns about Luz kissing Anne at the dance a week after the girls disappeared. 3 months later, it's revealed that Marcy's parents moved away out of grief from losing her while Sasha's got divorced.
