History Recap / VoltronLegendaryDefenderS2E9TheBellyOfTheWeblum

* ShoutOut: The green jellyfish-like creatures strongly resemble VideoGame/{{Metroid}}[=s=], down to latching on victim's heads and harming them.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Keith makes a joke at Hunk's expense and Hunk is too busy being surprised at Keith cracking a joke to be offended.

* RealityEnsues: Coran has Keith and Hunk watch an informative video he made about Weblums and what to do when you have to harvest scaulrite from them. The problem is, the video is over 10,000 years old, and has corroded in that time frame. As a result, it cuts off at random points where they would've seen vital information about Weblums, leaving them with little knowledge on what to do.

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Hunk questions Keith for saving the stranger, but Keith reasons that Galra or not, he couldn't just leave them inside the Weblum.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Keith makes a joke at Hunk's expense Hunk is too busy being surprised at Keith cracking a joke to be offended.
* BrutalHonesty: Hunk after his ExplainExplainOhCrap moment admits that Allura probably hates Keith.

* DebateAndSwitch: Keith keeps asking Hunk not to treat him differently since he only just found he is Galran, and that he's the same person. Hunk during the episode points out that Keith has become a better person since learning his identity. This gets pushed to the back as a RunningGag.
* DelayedOhCrap: Hunk manages to get the Weblums attention by making his lion headbutt it and it prepares to fire its laser in defense. Hunk beams proudly since that means it would create the scaultrite, but then belatedly remembers that the beam was aimed at ''him''.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Hunk tries to reassure Keith that Allura doesn't hate him for being Galran. He then states that the Galra wiped out her home planet and people, finally admitting that Allura probably hates him.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Keith has an EnemyMine with a Galra, who betrays the group at the very end and takes some of the schaultrite at gunpoint. SOMETHING is up with that person.

The team decides to split up in order to get the materials needed to take Zarkon down. Keith and Hunk are assigned to find the Weblum, a creature that creates a crystal that they need. When the two get separated Keith comes across a stranger who has a Galra mark on their body.

* CallBack: Coran mentioned in season one that retrieving a Balmeran crystal is nothing, and that harvesting schaultrite from a Weblum is infinitely more dangerous.

* DelayedOhCrap: Hunk manages to get the Weblums attention by making his lion headbutt it and it prepares to fire its laser in defense. Hunk beams proudly since that means it would create the schaultrite, but then belatedly remembers that the beam was aimed at ''him''.

* TookALevelInKindness: Keith is notably more gentle towards Hunk and even makes a joke at his expense. Hunk lampshades this as they're headed back to the castle after getting the schaultrite.
