* BatDeduction: Gumball sees pink petals on the ground and successfully locates Leslie hiding in the dressing rooms. Reaching the conclusion involves gluten-free diets and underemployed actors.
--> "Think about it— what has petals? Flowers. What is made of flour? Bread. Who eats bread? Everyone, apart from people who can't eat gluten. Who doesn't eat gluten? People on a made-up diet. What kind of people are usually on fad diets? Drama queens. Who are usually drama queens? Actors. And what do actors do in real life? They work as waiters in the food industry. And where do they lie about not working in the food industry? ''[points behind Darwin]'' In their dressing rooms."



* KissOfLife: Darwin forces Gumball to give Leslie mouth-to-mouth when the amount of clothing covering him prevents him from photosynthesis/breathing. [[AmbiguouslyGay Leslie]] is not happy when Gumball pulls away.



* ReactiveContinuousScream: Leslie and Harold reactively scream at each other after Leslie appears outside Harold's car window and terrifies the man.



* SuddenAnatomy: Mrs. Robinson doesn't usually have teeth or sclera, but when Leslie goes to for help [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/theamazingworldofgumball/images/3/39/PETALS69.png she has both]] contributing to an impressive SlasherSmile.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: A lot of the threat and horror in the sequence of Leslie running from Gumball and Darwin after they suggest Leslie get his head cut off in order to save himself from wilting was cut in a lot of international versions (specifically in the Taiwanese dub, the Russian dub, the Bulgarian dub, the Cartoon Network Asia version, and the dubs shown in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Germany).

* LosingYourHead: Darwin and Gumball decide the only way to fix Leslie is to cut his flower (head) off, and so pull out [[ShearMenace a pair of gardening shears]]. Leslie runs away thinking they're crazy, until they explain it will grow back good as new, then he lets them. [[YouDidntAsk What they didn't bother to tell him]] before cutting was that it would take ''months'', and so Leslie grabs the shears and starts chasing Darwin and Gumball with them.

Added DiffLines:

* ShownTheirWork: At one point, Gumball refers to the seasonal decapitation of flowers as deadheading, which is a real gardening chore. Gardeners do this to encourage more blooms, improve the plant’s overall health, prevent seed formation, and keep the garden aesthetically pleasing. However, Gumball later claims that the flower (Leslie’s head) will grow back in the spring. Based on his design, Leslie seems to be a pink shasta daisy, which typically bloom in the summer.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Darwin tries to convince Leslie to go through with the deadheading because otherwise his face will keep rotting. Leslie takes this to mean it's better to die with the memory of his beauty than live ugly, which he accepts, but Darwin quickly clarifies his head will grow back.

* FacialHorror: Leslie's face gets progressively more worn and desiccated. It's horribly wrinkled to start with, and by the end resembles leather stretched over a skeleton without any cartilage (i.e. no cheeks, no lips, nose is just a pair of nostrils).
