* AmazingTechnicolourPopulation: {{Lampshaded}}. When the Plantars start getting to specific with their questions to the vet about frog Biology and asking him unusual questions he starts taking a closer look at them, noticing their unusual skin tones and Hop Pop's fake nose, forcing them to quickly leave before they're discovered.

Added DiffLines:

* BizarreAlienBiology: {{Discussed|Trope}}. The Plantars try to get information on frog biology from the vet once he's done seeing Domino, with Hop Pop [[IHaveThisFriend wondering if there's anything to help with back pain, or medicine to make a frog look 40 years younger]], Sprig wanting to know what the world record for the highest a frog's ever jumped is so he can beat it, and Polly wanting to know if frogs can grow more than one limb. All their questions start making the vet both confused and suspicious, especially once he starts noticing [[AmazingTechnicolourPopulation their unusual skin tones]] as well as Hop Pop's fake nose, forcing them to beat a hasty retreat.
* Callback: Sprig expresses nervousness about taking Domino to the vet, noting that she's giving him [[Recap/AmphibiaS1E07TheDominoEffect Domino 2 flashbacks]] from their similar appearances.

* ScrewThisImOuutaHere. The Boonchuys quickly exit the room after foisting the painkiller-addled Anne off on the Plantars, since they want to help out around the house more and Anne is ''way'' [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs out of it]] from she sheer amount of painkillers in her system needed for her dental operation.

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: When Domino goes missing, Polly and Sprig's first instinct is to call Mr Boonchuy in order to get help with finding her, only for Hop Pop to interfere with that out of a desire for them to be seen as competent and a benefit to their hosts, and not wind up as 'freeloaders'. Eventually, Sprig just goes ahead and calls him anyway and Polly shoves Hop Pop in Domino's cage in order to stop him interfering, and his in-depth understanding of Domino's behavioural patterns allows them to easily track her down.

Added DiffLines:

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: It turns out that Anne developed 8 cavities and still had a whole bunch of cricket legs stuck in her teeth from her time in Amphibia. She wasn't planning on getting TrappedInAnotherWorld, and accordingly, her dental hygiene suffered for it because she didn't have a toothbrush and appropriate access to any other objects that could have helped her look after her teeth- not helped by the fact she was a case of BizarreAlienBiology over in Amphibia, so the Plantars had no way of knowing if she wasn't taking good care of her health, or finding appropriate substitutes.

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: After learning they've been with the Boonchuys for a week, Hop-Pop worries about becoming a "freeloader" like "Cousin Stanley", a (probably phony) distant relative who stayed with him for months on end until he, Spring, and Polly got fed up and threw him into the swamp from a second-story window.

* OhCrap:
** When a heron flies overhead, the Planters freak out -- remembering that the herons on their world are colossal -- until it lands in a nearby fountain and is no larger than Sprig.
** When Domino pounces at her after she pretends to be a ball of yarn, Polly realizes she's in trouble and rolls away as fast as she can, pursued by Domino.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: A couple episodes ago, the Plantars scoffed at the animals of Earth, saying that they don't try to tear them apart. Here, they find out that many Earth creatures, while still not as dangerous as the ones in Amphibia, are ferocious and threatening in their own way. For example, while Earth herons are much smaller than their Amphibia counterparts, they can still bite.
