** Luz teaches Gus what a high-five is. He later uses it to knock over a few abomination pots to distract Principal Bump so Luz can escape.


Added DiffLines:

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: At the end of the episode, Eda [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead affectionately pats Luz on the head]] and tells her she's proud of her. Gus, who learned of the human gesture of high-fives from Luz, politely informs Eda that high-fives are done with the hands, not the head.
* CultureClash: This and future episodes demonstrate that Eda doesn't understand the concept of a hug, expressing confusion by it multiple times. (In a future episode, she even calls it "the parallel arm thing".) Since Willow and Gus, who are also from the Boiling Isles, both give Luz hugs when they see her again, it's unknown if it's just Eda who doesn't understand it, or if Willow and Gus learned about hugging from Luz and it's not a typical Boiling Isles gesture.


Added DiffLines:

* InSeriesNickname: After meeting Augustus, a young boy who acts as head of Hexside's Human Appreciation Society, Luz notes that she knows an Augustus from the human world as well, who goes by Gus. This Augustus immediately happily adopts the human nickname as his own as well, and indeed goes by "Gus" for the rest of the series.


Added DiffLines:

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Just after Willow sneaks Luz into the school to pose as her abomination, Gus literally bumps into her while reading a magazine about humans, and this conversation happens.
-->'''Gus''': Willow, you would not ''believe'' humans.\\
'''Willow''': ''(Glances nervously at the pot Luz is hiding in)'' Humans? I haven't seen any, what?

Even so, when she escapes he settles for banning her and putting up a Wanted poster while transferring Willow to the plant magic track.
