* AdultFear: Eda's reaction to Luz vanishing into a school that she considers a place of "blind obedience" is not that different from a parent finding out their kid vanished in a forbidden place.



* ChekhovsGun: The "slime ball" Eda gives to Luz at the beginning turns out to be a seed, which Willow uses to magically grow into giant vines. Eda herself even states that it would be important.

* EveryoneHasStandards: When their teacher threatens to give everyone extra homework if the next abomination is a failure, Amity stands up and volunteers to show hers, in her typical arrogant language. Even so, she thinks it's unfair to punish everyone when she has done the work and can prove it.



* HeroicBystander: When Luz nearly gets dissected, Gus knocks down several abomination barrels to distract Principal Bump and give Luz a chance to run.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Amity isn't wrong when saying that Willow can't afford another failure, as Willow sadly acknowledges before they make it to school. Also, she knows that Willow is cheating because she saw the girl's project beforehand, which was just an eyeball in sludge. She gets vindicated when the principal chases Luz out of the school.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tiny one for Amity, but she volunteers to show off her abomination so that everyone else isn't punished for their shoddy assignments.



* OhCrap: King gets this when he realises that he's run out of treats for the now garbage worm..and it's still hungry.

* OhCrap: MundaneMadeAwesome: Gus is blown over when Luz teaches him how to do a high-five.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Principal Bump learns from Amity that Willow cheated on her assignment. Ostensibly, Amity doesn't get punished when she points this out because Willow has ''never'' done well on the abomination track. He notices Luz's ears and starts examining her, threatening to dissect her after she misunderstands the word "lie". Even so, when she escapes he settles for banning her and putting up a Wanted poster while transferring Willow to the plant magic track.

* SpottingTheThread: Principal Bump gets suspicious of the abomination when Luz misinterprets the term "lie" and starts babbling about chemical trails.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution:
** The whole episode is about Luz trying to learn traditional magic at a regular school, by auditing as an abomination. Because she's human and helps a classmate cheat on an assignment, she gets banned before even getting to enroll.
** Amity tries to show off her abomination so that the teacher won't punish everyone with extra homework. He shuts her down because he wants to save the "best" for last.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Luz doesn't attend magic school, because humans aren't allowed and she's on the lam for being an intruder. With that said, Gus and Willow can visit the Owl House and share their lessons with her.
