History Recap / TheSarahJaneAdventuresS1E9E10TheLostBoy

** To their credit, if it was anybody ''other'' than Sarah Jane, The Doctor or one of his companions, it would probably fry them alive. If it didn't, the ''security guards on Motorbikes'' probably would.

* WhamEpisode

* SmarterThanYouLook: Mr. Smith [[VillainRespect complements]] Clyde’s intuitive way of warning his friends about the situation, despite being trapped on a different plan; he notes how Clyde is [[HiddenDepths smarter than he usually lets people see]].

* CassandraTruth: Alan's reaction to Maria's stories about aliens and other strange goings-on is to put their house on the market.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Mr. Smith is the Xylok, and he's evil. Although strictly speaking he's working exactly as his original designers intended him to [[EvilFeelsGood albeit with a certain relish.]]

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: Luke realises something's amiss when his fake father mentions Mariah and Clyde's names despite never meeting them.

* NoEndorHolocaust: Averted. When the Moon was being pulled towards Earth, it's mention the fact that these events caused disruption such as freak storms, harsh weathers and complete collapse of the environment through the scattered news reports and footage which Sarah Jane was watching so it wasn't glossed over.

* AdultFear: We're led to believe Luke isn't an alien created ArtificialHuman after all, but had been a normal human boy experimented on and kidnapped from his family, and thus unwittingly kidnapped by Sarah Jane. So we have your child being taken away from you, being accused of kidnapping because of what's basically analogous to an administrative error in adoption records/your adopted child's "real" parents coming out of the blue demanding "their" child back, believing you've been a good parent only for someone to say you've psychologically damaged your kid, having to give your child up despite loving them very much and your child not understanding why they have to go, and sending your child somewhere because you believe it's the right thing to do only for them to be mistreated. It's a really dark set up.

* SpotTheYhread: Clyde realises something is amiss when a) Luke’s “mother” looks nothing like him and b) she claims that “Ashley” was stunning on a skateboard, when Clyde has seen Luke on a skateboard and knows how terrible he is.
