* HopeSpot: After Gleebo is shot, Betty cries over his supposedly dead body, saying she loves him. Gleebo is shown opening his eyes, which would signify everything will be alright. However, it's then he stops faking his cutesy attitude and snaps at her for failing to protect him.

* MonsterOfTheAesop: Gleebo is a cute sasquatch-like creature who turns out to be an ill-tempered criminal who is motivated by greed. Betty, who spent the entire episode coddling him and falling for his act, learns from the experience not to assume someone is good or evil based on their looks.

* BrokenAesop: The episode is the typical "don't judge a book by its cover" as Betty thinks Gleebo is good for being cute and the aliens hunting him are evil and not the law. However, the Planetary Police try to straight up capture Gleebo without even bothering to explain themselves to the kids, much less speak to them at all as opposed to chase after them with their spaceship. They don't even try to do that when the group use Jughead's treehouse as a base, just shooting at it (with stun guns admittedly) and expect them to hand over Gleebo. It's only after Gleebo's reveal do they bother explaining the situation. So, in this case, the teens were justified to not trust the two since, ugly or not, they should've explained themselves.

An alien spaceship lands in Riverdale. Inside is a small, furry little creature named Gleebo, who Betty latches onto like a child. Gleebo needs help to get in contact with his people to avoid a duo of ugly aliens coming after him, so the group decides to help him out. However, it will soon become clear Gleebo isn't being entirely honest.
