The girls' attempt to attend a nighttime movie premiere is crashed by the arrival of Wong and the Tracker, hunting for Caleb. Meanwhile, Jade's magical effort to make herself older backfires.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: Whereas in canon the Tracker's origin is never stated, here it's revealed that Wong created him by merging together the remains of Meridian's greatest hunters.
- Back-to-Back Badasses: Jackie and Will.
- Behemoth Battle: The chapter's climax has a fight between Gargoyle and Jade (who has grown to fifty feet thanks to a growth spell Gone Horribly Right).
- Both Sides Have a Point: Everyone has a right to get upset with Jade for casting magic on herself without thinking about the consequences and scold her for being irresponsible. However, Cornelia concedes that Jade wanting to help isn't a bad thing and is actually quite understandable. Jackie agrees to let Jade accompany them on their missions as long as she acts responsibly.
- Colossus Climb: Jackie does this while fighting Gargoyle.
- For Want Of A Nail: Because of Jackie's positive influence on the Guardians' work/civilian life balance leading to an increase in their grades, Will gets permission from her mother to attend the movie and doesn’t have to sneak out.
- Frankenstein's Monster: Wong created the Tracker's body by using body parts taken from the corpses of Meridian's best hunters and trackers before using dark magic to bring him to life. As such, the zombie-hunter seems to be utterly compliant to Wong's wishes.
- In Spite of a Nail: While it ended up happening later and under different circumstances than canon, Gargoyle still loses a hand fighting the Guardians.
- The Starscream: It's hinted for the first time that Wong is plotting against Phobos.
- What the Hell, Hero?:
- The Guardians all freak out on Jade for casting a growing spell on herself just because she's tired of being little and being treated like a kid.
- Irma is also called out for leaving Caleb and Blunk to babysit her little brother while Wong and the Tracker were trailing the duo.
