* BrokenAesop: The fact that we never get to see Dirk being anything but a bully makes the reveal of his own demons fall a bit flat. Some have described the episode as saying ''any'' retaliation against a bully makes you just as bad. It doesn't help that there's a timeline issue, with Dirk's father claiming that he was always bullied himself, let it also only seemed to start when Sam beat him up.

* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: Look closely at the blackboard when teen Sam is talking to his teacher about the werewolf-hunting essay he turned in, and he's opening up to the teacher about how he really doesn't want to go into the "family business" and he wishes his life could be different. The blackboard has notes on ''Literature/TheOutsiders'', including brief descriptions of the characters. As anyone who read it knows, ''Literature/TheOutsiders'' is about a trio of brothers who have little-to-no parental supervision, must take care of each other because each other is all they have, live on the fringes of society, are the victims of circumstances beyond their control, are no strangers to violence, and are very distrustful of authorities because their biggest fear is being split up from each other. Sound familiar?

* ChallengingTheBully: We see in a flashback that, in a desire to blend in and be normal, Sam will ignore bullies that pick on him personally, but woe to anyone who picks on people Sam considers to be a friend or under his protection. When bully Dirk decides to beat up Sam's new friend Barry, even kicking him when he's already down. Sam tells Dirk to leave Barry alone, but Dirk cockily challenges the diminutive Sam to a fight. Sam proceeds to lay a [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp beatdown]] on the bully, despite Dirk being easily twice Sam's size. He also crowns the bully Dirk the Jerk, a nickname that would follow the bully the rest of the way through school.
