10	** Amity's AuraVision acts up again, this time from looking at Eda after Luz asks if she and Raine are dating again.
11	** The Goblin warns Eve that "the Day of Unity will never come to pass." What this means going forward is rather nerve-wracking.

23	** Peter turns out to be the artist who beat Luz in the Covention art show all the way back in "Witch's Duel... or Don't", and the piece in question is seen again. It's even lampshaded.

25	** Alador sees Amity for the first time since their interaction in "Prelude to War: Part 2", before the Glandus War and her disappearance.
26	** Amity returns to Blight Manor for the first time since leaving to rescue Luz with Puck in "The Reveal". After everything she's gone through since that day, she no longer considers it home.

40	* CrushBlush: Eda and Raine have these when thinking up an excuse for what they did in the basement the previous night, then Raine blushes when Eda kisses them goodbye, and Eda has to hide another one when Luz asks if she and Raine are back together.
41	* DramaticUnmask: The Goblin kidnaps Eve and unmasks himself in front of her, showing his true identity: Teri.
42	* {{Expy}}: Meg and Grip of the Bard Coven are both parodies of [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Gwen and Trent]], Meg being an artist who had relationship issues in her youth and Grip being a guitarist who was in a band with Napoli.
43	* ExpyCoexistence: Luz and Amity list several characters who are similar to fictional characters in the Human Realm, noting the Grim Goblin being like the ''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan Green]]'' [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Goblin]], the Shadowy Secret Expozers being like [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Mystery Inc.]] is mentioned again, and Dusty is a lot like [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]]. They soon agree it's best not to think about it.
44	* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: Before Luz and Amity go to save Eve from Teri, Amity warns Gibson to stop hanging around her father.
45	* TheGhost: Viney is only mentioned before the investigation at the Oscorne residence, Barcus saying she's probably with Emira.

56	* MultiPartEpisode: This continues the multi-part chapter leading up to "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E14ReachingOut Reaching Out]]".
57	* MythologyGag: Downplayed. Matt struggling to keep himself together over something happening to Steve mirrors the ''[[Webcomic/MoringMarkTOHComics Moringmark]]'' comic, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11jzp6s/bard/ "Bard"]].
58	* NeverMyFault: As Glinda tells off Emily, she points out how the latter hurts everyone around her, including those who were once their friends. Emily responds that it's their fault, causing Glinda to cringe.
59	* NoodleIncident: At the Coven Day parade, Danny was in a port-a-potty during the Goblin attack. It got knocked over, so Riley had to keep him invisible so he wouldn't be seen.
60	* NotMeThisTime: When Danny saw the charity art show in ruins, he instantly accuses Luz of the damage; Alador is quick to clarify that the Grim Goblin was responsible.
61	* OnceMoreWithClarity: This chapter details how Luz and Amity got injured facing off against the Grim Goblin.
62	* ParentalSexualitySquick: Eda and Raine seem to have had sex the night before Raine and Star leave. Acorn nearly announces what they were doing and Amity (the only one who can understand her and currently sees Eda as a [[ParentalSubstitute mother figure]]) cuts her off before she finishes her thought.
63	* PottyEmergency: Danny and Riley kept disappearing during Goblin attacks because Danny has stomach issues and Riley had to escort him to the bathroom.
64	* PrecisionFStrike: Boscha drops one the second she sees Gus's new look.
65	* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: The Shadowy Secret Expozers come to stop the Grim Goblin after hearing he kidnapped Eve. While they've got their own lives away from each other now, they reunite for one last mystery in order to stop Teri, nominating Eve as their leader since [[ItsPersonal the case is personal for her]] and she keeps the team together.
66	* TheReveal:
67	** Teri is the Grim Goblin, an alternate personality that manifested when Eve disappeared, which he blames her friends and the Emperor's Coven for.
68	** The Oscornes are Hellborn demons from Hell itself, descended from before Belos took power.
69	** Gavin has the ability to create portals using abomination matter, which he can use to teleport objects.
70	** The identities of BIG are revealed to be Alburno, Venoma, Scarmeron, Skrap, Thunder, Joana, and Le'Belle.
71	** Alador hasn't been helping Prof. Snope with curing his siblings since he became Coven Head.
72	** Danny has stomach problems that result in constipation which Riley has been helping him with by leading him away to the bathrooms, hence why they always disappear before the Goblin shows up.
73	** Adrian Graye is Walter Wildes of the previous Shadowy Secret Exposers, which was a stage name.
74	** Sarah is the daughter of Staggertarious, who's actually been reduced to a BrainInAJar. He's friends with Professor Redback and Jane, and asked his daughter to deliver a message to Luz which she has yet to do.
75	** Peter is the artist behind "Corndog on a Plate", the art piece that beat out Luz's back at the Covention art show.
76	* SequelHook:
77	** Raine and Star have now gone off to rebuild the rebellion.
78	** Teri has vanished as the Goblin took control of him in order to escape capture.
79	* SeriesContinuityError: Amity claims when meeting the St. Epiderm students at Peter's art show that that's the first time she's ever met such students, but she had already met Donna and Kyle back in "The Return of the Witchlings"[[note]]The chapter is set before she met Beocrow and Lindsay, so they don't count. Kyle's one of the students she meets at the art show so unless she didn't know that he and Donna were Epidermites, it makes no sense[[/note]].
80	* ShipTease: Cross shows signs of reciprocating Lindsay's feelings for him when he tells Emily she's pretty, a fact Emily also agrees with.
81	* ShoutOut: Several are made to ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
82	** Grip, an expy of Trent, shares his name of a team from ''Action'', the Killer Grips (of which Trent was briefly team captain).
83	** Grip and Napoli were in a band in the past, like how Trent and Harold were members of the Drama Brothers.
84	** Meg (whose name comes from Gwen's voice actress, Creator/MeganFahlenbock) was friends with Judd and Le'Belle until she had a falling out with each of them. This refers to Gwen's disastrous friendship with Courtney (Le'Belle's basis) and relationship with Duncan (Judd's basis).
85	** Napoli mentions seeing someone named Mosquita, which is drawn from Harold and Leshawna's relationship.
86	** All the members of BIG are made up of expies of characters who were on the Villainous Vultures in ''All-Stars''.
87	* SplitPersonality: The Grim Goblin turns out to be this for Teri.
88	* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Amity is disgusted by how Gibson didn't just take Teri to be treated when he knew he was the Goblin.
89	* SynchronousEpisodes: This chapter is part of the set of chapters that overlap with each other, but is set during the week before Nina and Donna's counseling sessions in the previous two chapters.
90	* UnexplainedRecovery: The Surreal Serial Killers return despite the Emperor's Coven arresting them and their classmates in "What is it Good For?"
91	* UnknownRival: Cross seems to become one for Emily, as Graye begins encouraging his apprentice to step up or be overshadowed by the boy.
92	* TheUnReveal: Who threw the smoke bomb and retrieved the Grim Goblin?
93	* WhamEpisode: Teri is revealed to be the Grim Goblin (who's a SplitPersonality) and ends up escaping capture, the SSE reunites to stop Teri and name Eve as their leader, Luz and Amity confiscate a trunk full of clues from Gibson on the previous SSE and have it delivered to Vanessa, Adrian Graye is revealed to be Walter Wildes and begins pitting Emily against Cross, Glinda breaks up with Emily, Gus becomes a goth, Sarah is instructed to deliver a message to Luz from her father, and Raine and Star leave the Owl House to start up a new rebellion, with some implications that Raine got back together with Eda.
94	* WhamLine
95	* WhamShot: After waking up, the MFC begin looking for Teri, only to find ''Gibson'' buried under rubble instead.
96	* WholePlotReference: The plotline regarding the mystery solvers takes inspiration from several ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' episodes, such as "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS1E14MysterySolversClubStateFinals Mystery Solvers Club State Final]]", "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS2E1TheNightTheClownCried The Night The Clown Cried]]" and "[[Recap/ScoobyDooMysteryIncS2E6ArtOfDarkness The Art of Darkness]]".
