Added DiffLines:

* {{Mundanger}}: AlienAbduction elements aside, the growing disappearances happening around Beach City are treated with all the realistic severity of an actual kidnapping spree. Despite everyone trying to [[ItsProbablyNothing play things off,]] the eerie absences [[NothingIsScarier hang in the air for most of the episode]] before [[ExplainExplainOhCrap culminating in full-on dread once Barb and Steven realize how concerning things are getting.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: As they discuss Lars and Sadie missing from the Big Donut, Barb and Steven steadily come to the dreadful realization that, come to think of it, a ''lot'' of people in Beach City are missing, and something ''very'' bad might be happening:
-->'''Barb:''' I only came over to drop off Sadie's lunch. She wasn't home last night, so I figured I'd bring it here. But the place was completely empty. Maybe it's some sort of baker's holiday... It's certainly not a ''federal'' one!\\
'''Steven:''' Sadie... never came home last night?\\
'''Barb:''' Ehh, she's an adult! Probably just snuck off for another "island adventure" with her boyfriend.\\
'''Steven:''' That couldn't be. They were going to go to a party together, but... Lars never showed. And when me and Sadie left, she said she was going home. And now Sour Cream is looking everywhere for Onion... And I was expecting a package today from Jamie, but he-- he never delivered it...\\
'''Barb:''' A package? You mean one about yea big, two pounds, maybe four ounces?\\
'''Steven:''' (''gasps'') My distinguished khakis! Did you see Jamie with them?\\
'''Barb:''' ...I did this morning... Just before sending him off to ''your'' place.\\
(''Steven stares at Sadie's abandoned VHS tape and Onion's "missing" flier'')\\
'''Steven:''' Barb... this might be serious.

* TractorBeam: Aquamarine has a wand which can fire an immobilizing beam, similar to Syndrome's zero-point energy gauntlets in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' and the one that Peridot used on Pearl in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E21CatchAndRelease "Catch and Release"]].

* AdultFear: Given that people are going missing, fear is an appropriate response. Sour Cream is putting up "missing" signs of Onion and Barb becomes visibly scared when Steven mentions that Sadie was planning to return home after the party.

* CombatHaircomb: Aquamarine's bow lends to her looking like an innocent lost child, though her actual demeanor is far less cute. When she whips the ribbon off her head, it turns into a wand that projects a TractorBeam.

Added DiffLines:

* HypocriticalHumor: Pearl indulges into a little SelfDeprecation pretending not being able to draw when she produces the best drawing of the four (albeit not a very accurate one):
-->'''Pearl:''' Honestly, I can't even draw a circle.

* FreezeFrameBonus: As the Topaz fusion splits apart, you can see the package Jamie was delivering drop and Lars' [[TearsOfFear panicked crying]].
