History Recap / StevenUniverseS4E21DougOut

* CassandraTruth: Onion claims that it wasn't him who broke the fence to get into Funland at night. No one believes him, and when they leave, two unknown Gems show up...

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Doug laments that his profession is boring compared to his wife's job as a doctor and Connie's magical adventures.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Steven, Connie, and Doug are chasing the unknown intruder(s) through Funland, we see two different silhouettes that are ''definitely'' not Onion's--first when the chase begins, then before the fence in front of a booth is knocked over onto Doug. Both occasions are accompanied by [[MusicalSpoiler new, distinct snippets of music]].

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: While stuck in a ride that spins to push passenger back onto the interior wall, Dough throws his flashlight toward a console in the center to hit the off switch. The flashlight goes straight toward the console, slowly loses speed, then accelerates back into the opposite direction, as if the ride used ArtificialGravity instead of just centripetal acceleration. Ironically, Connie then laments how the laws of physics were what caused his effort to fail.

* BigShadowLittleCreature: Doug says Onion is too small to have cast the shadow they ran after. Connie demonstrates that his flashlight could cause Onion to cast a deceptively large shadow. [[SubvertedTrope However, the first shadow really didn't belong to Onion]]--it's also a different shape, and came from the larger figure that comes back from Onion at the episode's end.

* BigShadowLittleCreature: Doug says Onion couldn't be the one they were chasing because they saw a huge shadow, but Connie demonstrates Onion . [[SubvertedTrope What really wasn't Onion's shadow]]--

* {{Irony}}: Steven, Connie, and Doug think they're doing Onion a favor by leaving him behind because they aren't turning him in for vandalism. [[AloneWithThePsycho They aren't.]]

* BigShadowLittleCreature: Doug's flashlight shows what looks like a big person, but it's actually just Onion.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Steven, Connie, and Doug are chasing the unknown intruder(s) through Funland, at one point a silhouette can be seen that is certainly not in the shape of Onion...

* PoorCommunicationKills: Since no one understands Onion, they don't get that there is a real threat in Funland, so they leave without dealing with it and Onion is left at its mercy.

* ShoutOut:
** Connie dresses as [[Franchise/CarmenSandiego "Veronica Cucamonga"]] while Steven's "Peter Pizzapopoulous" costume resembles [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros a familiar plumber]].
** A red fedora and long coat in possession of a bespectacled cop voiced by {{Creator/Crispin Freeman}}? Sounds like a certain [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} vampire]] has been patrolling the streets. Thank the stars no one in Beach City has died... yet.[[note]] Though the fedora and longcoat may be too small for an adult, Alucard does have the ability to shapeshift and has taken the form of a young girl on multiple occasions. [[/note]]

* NotMeThisTime: Onion. Too bad nobody believes him.

* ShoutOut: Connie dresses as [[Franchise/CarmenSandiego "Veronica Cucamonga"]] while Steven's "Peter Pizzapopoulous" costume resembles [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros a familiar plumber]].
** A red fedora and long coat in possession of a bespectacled cop voiced by {{Creator/Crispin Freeman}}... sounds like a certain [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Vampire]] has been patrolling the streets. Thank the stars no one in Beach City has died...yet.[[note]] Though the Fedora and longcoat maybe small, this theory becomes more plausible when taking to account Alucard's ability to shapeshift and how he has taken the form of a young girl on multiple occasions. [[/note]]

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: In-universe, Steven makes up "Pizzapopoulos" to be an Italian name, but Connie points out the "-opoulous" suffix is generally used for ''Greek'' names.

* ShoutOut: Connie dresses as Franchise/CarmenSandiego while Steven dresses as [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros a familiar plumber]].
