* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Tim sets a detonator with a ten-second delay, with more than enough time to run away. One party member takes the detonator and plans to pull a HeroicSacrifice, only to realize he ''can'' run and sprints too late. He ends up blind from the blast. Tim gives a FacePalm and says that was the whole point of the delay.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Terry is fine with standard dumb alien-frat shenanigans. Even so, he won't let Pupa accidentally hurt himself with the dumb ray. He also becomes concerned when the frozen lava floods the entire city and will destroy their neighbors.
* InventionalWisdom: Korvo says they made a "dumb" ray for the purpose of emergencies. One must question what those emergencies are.
* KarmicTwistEnding: To save the town and their ship, Terry is forced to fix the smart ray, which he destroyed, proving Korvo right that his episode arc was to learn that you can't cut corners or ignore common sense.
* KickTheDog: Terry shoots Korvo with the "dumb" ray when the latter runs into the countertop and falls to the ground with a head injury, bleeding blue blood.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Angry that they were attending school on a regular basis for nothing and getting along with her brother, Jessie happily joins Yumyulack in trashing the classrooms with sci-fi bullshit.
* SkewedPriorities: When the library floods with freezing lava and the kids have to climb to the top of the bookshelves, Yumulack takes the opportunity to shoot Jessie as part of their play-fight. She lampshades it.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Yumyulack points out that if Pupa is going to destroy the universe, then why not stay home and watch TV? School shouldn't matter. Terry mentions they don't know ''when'' Pupa will terraform the planet, and Korvo asserts that regardless of the institution, learning can be useful.
* SuddenlyVoiced: Pupa says his first real word: "Pepsi".
* ThouShaltNotKill: Tim refuses to kill the Duke's enforcers, saying that's what makes them different from the Duke.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Terry assumes college will mean frat parties and endless shenanigans. He and Korvo go to a community college, however, and find out that most of the students are middle-aged adults. One classmate says to go to a party, she would need a babysitter. Another one says she prefers to chill and watch ''NCIS''.
