* BaitAndSwitch: After Dusty wrecks his gearbox saving Harvey and Winnie and suffers a near-fatal crash, Maru spends the next five days repairing him. When he finally wakes up, Windlifter askes if Maru told him about how it went. Maru's tone throughout his description of what he fixed implies he was able to repair everything but Dusty's ruined gearbox, leading both him and audience to think he'll never be able to fly again. After Dusty solemnly thanks Maru for doing what he could, Maru cheerfully reveals he's completely fixed Dusty, having replaced his old gearbox with a custom-made, "better than new" gear box of his own making.
