* {{Irony}}: After getting trapped in the box-shaped room, Enid remarks that it must have took a lot of restraint from Boxman to not have tried the plan earlier. Then it's later shown off that it ''wasn't'' Boxman's plan, but Professor Venemous' name.

After they start fighting him and put him on the ropes, he hits a button that causes the floor to launch them out of the building back to the Bodega.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When K.O. and the (actually goo clones of) Enid and Rad burst into Venomous's office, he seems mostly unperturbed and it takes him a second to remember that he had Darrell put them in a trap, stating that a villain of his caliber has so many things going on at once that it's hard to remember every devious trap he sets up for every hero. Though, considering how much he clearly delights in their torment (especially K.O.'s), he may have been bluffing about this to make him K.O. even more angry.

* BaitAndSwitch: After K.O. escapes his box trap, he runs into Enid and Rad, and learns that they, too, were caught in similar traps with goo clones. Then, after the three of them seem to have cornered Venomous, we learn that this Rad and Enid are ''also'' goo clones and Venomous made a double-layer trap to torment K.O. further.
* BossSubtitles: K.O. expresses his doubt that the trap was actually Boxman's, since it seems too nasty for him to have thought of. He concludes it was Venomous, and when they burst into his office, we get:
-->'''It was PROFESSOR VENOMOUS All Along!'''

* ContinuityNod:
** Darrell (or at least the Darrell who stole the Bodega doors) still has his tentacle-arms (or, as K.O. calls them, his "creepy bio-enhancements") that Venomous made for him from "All in the Villainy".
** Enid (or rather, the goo clone of her) once again shows of her mime skills when serving K.O. and Rad "dinner" in their box-prison.



* ForTheEvulz: Venomous's actions towards the Bodega trio in this episode were just to emotionally torture them and observe their reactions.



* SoftSpokenSadist: Venomous really shows off here how much of one he is. He quite casually tells the Bodega heroes that he made the clones and tricked the originals into watching them die just to push them to the breaking point and make them easier to "dissect", but the clones were still "real" people with the unique memories of the subject they were cloned from, and had real souls. The trio is visibly ''very'' disturbed to hear all this. Even worse, the Rad and Enid in this confrontation were ''also'' goo clones, apparently just so Venomous could see K.O.'s reaction in person when he broke down at learning this.
