* CompressedAdaptation: After the fight with Alecto, the episode omits Percy's paranoia, his eavesdropping of Grover and Mr. Brunner, his encounter with the Fates and deliberately leaving Grover to catch a taxi home, replacing all of that with Grover placing Percy as the scapegoat for the fountain incident. This gets him expelled and he goes home by truck instead instead of a taxi.

* RetGone: After Percy accidentally vaporizes his pre-algebra teacher, nobody has any memories of "Mrs. Dodds" at the school and everyone thinks he's lost his mind. The episode omits Percy's being gaslighted over the existence of Mrs. Dodds for time and pacing reasons.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Who needs Grover? Or at least that's how Percy feels. Instead of further evading Mrs. Dodds' existence, he commits a rather serious MiscarriageOfJustice by having Percy be the scapegoat for the fountain incident and getting him expelled.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Percy's stepfather, "Smelly" Gabe Ugliano, is still a deeply unpleasant person who's needlessly mean to Percy, but he doesn't physically abuse Sally and when he tries to order her around the house Cinderella-style, she's able to stand up to him. Sally's book counterpart wouldn't find the courage to do that until the end of the novel.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Note Percy's eyes [[https://i.redd.it/ntb9umblzuvb1.jpg when he looks up at the statue, ]] they have taken on a greenish tint. Not only does this serve as a MythologyGag to Percy's eye color in the books, but also foreshadows his heritage as the son of Poseidon.

Expelled from school, Percy Jackson unravels who he is, confronting a world of gods and monsters.
!!"I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher" contains examples of:
* AdaptationalContextChange: In the books, Percy has a working knowledge of Greek mythology because of the Classics class he takes at school. Here, Sally, knowing her son's status as a demigod, told him Greek myths his entire childhood. There's a quick flashback to her telling seven-year-old Percy about his Ancient Greek namesake, the hero Perseus.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Grover and Percy play with Mythomagic trading cards, which weren't introduced in the books until ''Literature/TheTitansCurse.'' Grover explains that the game is "training", to teach Percy about gods and monsters before he knows that they actually exist.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Percy's stepfather, "Smelly" Gabe Ugliano, is still a deeply unpleasant person who's needlessly mean to Percy, but he doesn't physically abuse Sally and when he tries to order her around the house Cinderella-style, she's able to stand up to him. Sally's book counterpart wouldn't find the courage to do that until the end of the novel.
* AgeLift: Grover looks like a twelve-year-old human (except for the horns and goat legs, of course), but satyrs age at the different rate than humans. In the book, he's chronologically 28 years old. In the show, he's 24.
* MeaningfulEcho: "Hold fast, Perseus. Brave the storm." In the flashback with seven-year-old Percy, Sally quotes Danae's mantra to her baby, also named Perseus. Then in the present, she directs them to her son as she offers comfort before sacrificing herself to get him to camp.
* RetGone: After Percy accidentally vaporizes his pre-algebra teacher, nobody has any memories of "Mrs. Dodds" at the school and everyone thinks he's lost his mind.
