-->'''Gaia:''' I've ''got'' to get home.\\
'''Marge:''' Where's home, honey?\\
'''Gaia:''' Hope Island. If I don't get back, the whole planet is in jeopardy.\\
'''Marge:''' Yeah, being homeless makes you feel like your world is crumbling.\\
'''Gaia:''' I... I guess it sounds crazy, but... I don't think I'm crazy.

!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* BroughtDownToNormal: When Dr. Blight uses an EnergyWeapon on her, Gaia loses her powers and immortality.
* CardboardBoxHome: While trying to contact Gaia, Ma-Ti gets a vision of a place made of "paper houses". Initially, the Planeteers and Captain Planet think it might have something to do with the local Chinatown, due to Gi telling them of rice paper walls in some Asian countries. Eventually, however, Wheeler spots several homeless people putting new layers of paper and cardboard over their makeshift houses damaged by the rain. This is what sets the team on the right track to find Gaia.
* CrazyHomelessPeople: The first homeless person that Gaia encounters is an old man believing himself to be Creator/WilliamShakespeare (and talking in FloweryElizabethanEnglish). In a later scene, when Captain Planet and the Planeteers talk to an employee of the homeless shelter, we learn of two other delusional men, each thinking he's the Red Baron.
* CelestialDeadline: The only way Gaia can regain her powers and immortality is to get back to Hope Island by sunrise. Of course, Blight doesn't plan to make it easy...
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Gaia, enraged by the suffering of a coyote family, leaves Hope Island to personally help said animals. It most probably doesn't even occur to her that by doing so, she makes herself an easy target for the Eco-Villains – in this case, for Dr. Blight.
* FertileFeet: Gaia turns a barren construction site into a beautiful meadow by simply walking through it.
* FishOutOfWater: After Dr. Blight takes away her powers, Gaia wanders into a city and finds herself among homeless people. Being used to Hope Island's perfect living conditions – like lush plant life, pure air or clean waters teeming with all kinds of aquatic creatures – she has serious trouble adjusting to her new situation. Fortunately, a woman named Marge takes her under her wing.
* GroupHug: The Planeteers do this to Gaia two times – first when they find her, and second when they're all safely back on Hope Island.
* LiteralSurveillanceBug: Blight uses those to spy on the Planeteers. She has the bugs even in places like the Crystal Chamber or the geo-cruiser.
* MundaneLuxury: Gaia learns first-hand (and hard way) how many essential things can be taken for granted.
-->'''Gaia:''' You don't know how lucky you are, until you lose everything.
* PovertyFood: When it comes to eating, Marge isn't picky. She knows the taste of dog food, and offers Gaia a partially eaten burger found in a trashcan. Gaia, however, objects to such a meal with not entirely concealed disgust.
* RayGun: This is what Dr. Blight uses to deprive Gaia of her powers.
* SeriesContinuityError: In "A Twist of Fate", Gaia seems to understand the struggle of the poor and homeless people, and even explains it to Wheeler. In this episode, it's ''her'' who needs to learn this lesson.
* VillainsWantMercy: After Captain Planet punches a hole in her aircraft, Dr. Blight is standing on one of its wings, until it sinks completely, leaving her stranded in the ocean, rather far from the shore, only clinging to MAL's floating monitor. Cap does save them, though.
-->'''Blight:''' Hey! What about ''me?!''\\
'''MAL:''' She means ''us!''\\
'''Captain Planet:''' Now, I've got a deal for you!
* WouldHitAGirl: At one point, Gaia and Marge are approached by three aggressive men who attempt to beat them up and call the homeless people "trash". The two manage to fight off their attackers and flee, but soon run into them again. Fortunately, at this very time, [[InadvertentEntranceCue Captain Planet and the Planeteers arrive]] and chase the thugs off.
