* ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: After the cultists kill the two police officers who responded to Cole's 911 call, there's a protracted scene where Bee (who knows that Cole is familiar with police radio codes) is telling Cole to give them the correct code to give to the dispatcher so that the alarm isn't raised. She knows he's lying when he gives her the wrong code, so eventually he gives her the correct code. The problem is, for the entire scene ''dispatch is continually asking the responding officers to give their status''. After the second attempt to raise the officers and not getting a response, the dispatcher would have followed procedure and immediately hit the alarms, sending every available unit to the location. After that, no matter what code Bee told Max to give the dispatcher, other units would have arrived to verify the situation. Also, the code Cole gives them is for a 10-7, meal break. After a 911 call about a violent crime, that won't wash. Even if it was a prank call, they could not verify that without talking to the person who made the call. In that case, that person would have been arrested for misuse of the 911 system.

* AwkwardKiss: Despite his crush on Bee, Samuel is still weirded out by the idea of kissing her in front of a group of strangers— all of whom Bee has also just kissed, on a dare— pointing out that he barely knows Bee herself, and it takes a lot of coaxing before he agrees to kiss her.

** Cole thinks that watching ''Film/BillyJack'' will give him the hapkido moves he needs to defeat a bully. It doesn't.
** In general, being a nerdy 12 year old, Cole is no physical match for the cultists and has to rely on his cunning (and luck) to survive.

* TaughtByTelevision: Averted. Cole thinks that watching ''Film/BillyJack'' will give him the hapkido moves he needs to defeat a bully. It doesn't.
