- Alas, Poor Scrappy: Scrappy or not, Lars' Disney Death is heartbreaking, especially if Steven hadn't been able to revive him.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Padparadscha immediately became popular in the fandom (even when the episode was first leaked), likely because of her humorous "predictions"/simply because she's that adorable.
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Lars's actions in this and the next episode redeemed him in much of the fandom's eyes, as he got some much needed character development and almost single-handedly saved the Off Colors and Steven.
- Shocking Moments: Lars dies. Thankfully, Steven accidentally resurrected him, but it's still the first onscreen death in the series, and a brutal reminder that humans don't have the Super-Toughness Gems have.
- The Woobie: While all of the Off-Colors count to some extent, these two stand out:
- The Rutile Twins were ostracized and seen as a monster, simply because they were born as Conjoined Twins.
- Rhodonite is a Nervous Wreck, due to her teammates being in constant danger. Her backstory of being Star-Crossed Lovers who were replaced by their master also wins her some sympathy.
