* SpottingTheThread: Turns out Coach Lawrence is not completely DumbMuscle. He ''does'' initially buy Kubritz's lies that the school was contaminated and he was infected.

* MistakenForRacist: While Kubritz is already xenophobic, it gets weaponized against her here. When she corners Aja and Krel while they're in their human disguises, Kubritz spouts incredibly xenophobic comments which - due to her dedication to maintaining PlausibleDeniability - does not directly accuse the Tarrons of being extraterrestrials. This causes the rest of the summer school students to interpret the comments as discrimination against the Tarrons due to being foreigners and threaten to record the Area 49-B personnel and make the video go viral, forcing them to back down and leave the Tarrons alone for now.
