* SecretTestOfCharacter: One episode has Allen temporarily become human before he undergoes a rite of passage to prove his worth as a Xelon. He heads up to the highest point to complete the four tests, not realising the situations he finds himself in along the way (protecting a young girl from a hungry dog, telling a salesman that the money found among a pile of apples is not his, struggling up the mountain) are really the tests. He passes the final one when he thinks of Robbie rather than getting his Xelon powers back.
