S1 - Ep 3: The "Not-So-Dull" Summer Camp - Pt 2

Luz and the other camp kids arrive at summer camp but before they can actually do anything, they black out and awaken alone in their dorm-room. Things go from going from 0 to 100 when the state's governor gets involved with his plans for the teenagers.

And That's Terrible: Luz mentally notes anybody who lets anyone sleep with shoes on after kidnapping them is a sick freak.

Counsellor Johnson: I'm sorry, but I have no choice. Please, God, forgive me, because I'm sending these children to their doom…
Gas Station of Doom: Subverted. Nothing bad happens at the gas station the bus stops at (besides buying overpriced snacks).

Shout-Out:
- Luz notes she's played and watched far too much Danganronpa to know how that would end if they were put into a Deadly Game.
- Luz mentally comments that in their predicament she probably looks like a frightened dog whimpering as they were chained up to be shot in the face point blank with a shotgun. The girl then notes play way too much Wolfenstein if that was the first thing she thought of…
Stunned Silence: The superpowered teenagers are scared into silence as the Antagonistic Governor explains why he kidnapped them.

Tranquil Fury:
- Camp Counsellor Johnson is described as one point looking like wanting to scream his face off at the governor, he's able to compose himself, not wanting to continue to let the Smug Snake to get a rise out of him.
- Julia is depicted with eyes glimmering in anger, repulsion, and fury; yet has a ever-calm expression that did not display any of that. Luz envies hat characteristic.
