Krel builds a mind-reading device in hopes of blending in with humans. Elsewhere, General Morando dispatches bounty hunters to track down the royals.

!! Tropes for this episode include:

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: When Aja tries on Krel's mind-reading glasses, she notices that [[BeingHumanSucks humans have it just as bad at being human]] as ''they'' do, [[ItsAllAboutMe usually only caring about themselves]] and what other people think of them.
* AliensStealCable: Due to the impracticality of his human disguise, Varvatos takes to staying home and watching television as a form of information gathering.
* AliensStealCattle: When Eli thinks that Krel is going to abduct him, he pictures a flying saucer abducting a cow.
* AmazonChaser: Steve falls in love with Aja after she kicks his several feet into a trash-can when he was trying to fight Krel, complete with the street light making it look like she has a halo.
--> '''Steve's thoughts:''' Woah, she's like a ninja-kicking angel. I mean, she -- she kicks ninjas, but she's an angel.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: While at this point Steve is just as involved with the trolls that populate Arcadia as Eli is, he does not seem the least bit convinced by him that aliens are there too.
--> '''Steve:''' Look, Arcadia's a strange place. But it's strange with creeps and Trolls, not blue [[Film/ETTheExtraterrestrial E.T.s]] and magic houses.
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: When Steve refuses to back off when Krel tries to call off their fight, Aja steps in and curb-stomps him.
* CallBack: Two of the minds Aja reads when scoping the city includes [[Recap/TrollhuntersS1E9BittersweetSixteen a Vespa dealer complaining about a scratched Vespa]] and [[Recap/TrollhuntersS1E21PartyMonster Claire complaining about NotEnrique buying socks with her bank account]].
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: Turns out that the taco-truck guy was the supposed alien bounty-hunter they were looking for.
* {{Fingore}}: Growing tired of Eli's snooping, Varvatos requests that Aja and Krel brings back two of his fingers, preferably his thumbs.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Steve is convinced that the aliens that Eli saw were just people cosplaying, an angle Krel manages to successfully convince him was what was happening.
* GlamourFailure: Eli happens to catch the Mom-Blank sweeping the side-walk, only for her to turn her head 180 degrees around and calmly walks toward him backwards.
* HatesBeingCalledCute: Foo Foo's BerserkButton.
* KarmaHoudini: Krel and Aja manages to accidentally - and very publicly - destroy the planetarium with no lasting consequences.
* KillerRabbit: [[FluffyTheTerrible Foo Foo the Destroyer]] is a robotic rabbit bounty hunter that insists that he is a tough and unstoppable killing machine. It does not help that his hops - his ''hops'' - are accented with a cute bouncing noise.
* PsychicBlockDefense: Krel and Aja thinks that Steve is the alien they are looking for when he cannot read his mind, only to find out that his bike helmet was interfering with it.
* RuleOfThree: MOTHER has summarized being human into three basic rules that she believes will help with their disguises.[[note]]Due to their habit of taking certain things literally, all three of them misinterpret the proper context.[[/note]]
** Rule #1: Humans are still evolving, so preparing for change.[[note]]Aja misinterprets this as dumping a huge purse full of change when Señor Uhl announces a pop quiz.[[/note]]
** Rule #2: HumansAreFlawed, so embrace mistakes.[[note]]When Krel overdoes his math equation again and runs out of room, he tries to give Ms. Janeth an ''embrace''.[[/note]]
** Rule #3: When in doubt, [[PhoneaholicTeenager play with your phone.]][[note]]No comment.[[/note]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: When they are unable to read Steve's mind, even after Aja ruled him out as someone who would suspect them, they immediately come to the conclusion that he is ObfuscatingStupidity... only to subvert this and reveal that his helmet was blocking the mind-reading signal and that he really ''is'' that dumb.
* {{Telepathy}}: Krel builds a pair of glasses that allows him to read other people's minds.
