* NeverMyFault: Finn places the blame for Jake getting blopped out of existence on Lincoln, despite the fact Lincoln ''had'' been starting to believe Jake wasn't Magic Man, and Jake only got blopped because Finn knocked the staff out of Grob Gob Glob Grod's hand and onto Jake.

* HiddenDepths: This episode gave vague hints to Magic Man's backstory, with Abe Lincoln telling Jake that MM used to be cool until [[NoodleIncident something]] happened between him and Margles, the woman in Magic Man's photo. At the end of the episode, he's seen sadly looking at the photo and saying her name, a rare moment of vulnerability given to the CardCarryingJerkass.

* OnlyTheWorthyMayPass: Magic Man was given a portal to return to Mars when he was rehabilitated, but it doesn't work for him. Finn, however, is able to go through it by thinking of the person he cares for most (Jake). The portal appears to be linked to the user's sense of empathy, which the sociopathic Magic Man doesn't have.
