History Recap / TheOwlHouseS2E15ThemsTheBreaksKid

* PatchworkKids: A backwards variant: We see two {{Recurring Extra}}s who seem to be tied at the hip that look like Boscha split in half, one having her face and her three eyes but extremely pink hair and the other having her grey eye color and red hair but two eyes, this implying they are her parents.

* PatchworkKids: A backwards variant: We see two female {{Recurring Extra}}s that seem to be tied at the hip that look like Boscha split in half, one having her face, her three eyes but extremly pink hair and the other having a her grey eyes, red hair but two eyes, this implying they are her mothers.

->'''Raine:''' I'll keep you safe, Eda. I promise.

* YouGotSpunk: Terra is impressed by Raine and Eda attacking her, and though she refuses to give out any ribbons because they went against her challenge, she intervenes to make sure Eda isn't expelled.

* DecompositeCharacter: A backwards variant: We see two close female RecurringExtras that look like Boscha split in half, one having her face, her three eyes and extremly pink hair and the other having a her grey eyes, two eyes and her Red hair, this implying they are her [[HasTwoMommies her mothers]].

* BadBoss: Principal Faust. After Vice-Principal Bump challenges his views on the students, Faust has him go with Eda to the IFWOT program, telling Bump he'll be fired if Eda doesn't get the school a blue ribbon. And by "firing", he probably means it literally.

** Among the incomplete glyphs Luz tests out are one that turns things to stone and another that conjures monster arms, both things Belos was shown to be capable of in "Young Blood, Old Souls" (the former through a massive statue, evidently the perfected version).

* DeanBitterman: Principal Faust is insanely quick at punishing and even expelling students for minor slights. For example he gives detention to students who are not early enough.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Terra's final challenge involves labeling the students as "Coven witches" and "Wild witches" in order to pit them against each other. This is a parallel of how educators in the past would use racist or pronationalist propaganda to manipulate their students and embrace the [[WithUsOrAgainstUs "us vs them"]] mentality.

* EvilPrincipal: Faust is obsessed with punishing his students over educating them, and [[ItsAllAboutMe takes credit]] for the accomplishments of the few who do manage to excel. The only reason why he didn't expel Eda ages ago is because [[KeepingTheEnemyClose he wanted to "know evil" by studying it up close]], and has used her and her mischief as a case study.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Eda offers to tell Luz a story, Luz asks if it's a "backstory kind of story". Sure enough the quick title opening acts as the transition to the flashback.
* {{Lunacy}}: A discussion Eda and Lilith have at the beginning of the story shows that potion making can be impacted by lunar alignment. Eda answers a trick question that, depending on the phase of the moon, a certain ingredient will have less potency and need to doubled up proportions for any recipes that call for it.

** Eda's permanent record in the present, as seen when signing Luz up for Hexside, is ''much'' smaller than it was when Faust showed it to her. This would suggest that after Bump took over he sifted through and exempted any unreasonable infractions Faust recorded to leave only the truly serious offenses.
* PretendToBeBrainwashed: Raine obediently drinks all of Terra's potions that are supposed to keep them brainwashed. Terra has no idea that Raine can neutralize them and only plays along while secretly working against Belos.

** In "Eda's Requiem," Raine is introduced having terrible [[PerformanceAnxiety stage fright]], [[LuminescentBlush flustering easily]], and Eda remarks multiple times how they TookALevelInBadass. Raine not only shows ''none'' of these qualities as a teen in the flashback, but Eda now acts as though Raine was always TheAce. It's possible that they're only like that around Eda (which is given some support by how she's apparently the only one they've ever really talked to at the event), or that, [[UnreliableNarrator since the whole thing is framed as a story Eda is telling Luz, King and Hooty, she's playing up their positive characteristics]]. Or both.

* TrustBuildingBlunder: Eda has to participate in a trust fall with a student made of slime. She messes with everyone by casting an illusion that makes it seem as if she fell right through him and the flesh dissolved from her bones instantly.

* WelcomeToHell: A PG-rated version. After renaming the IFWOT program name with HECK, Terra tells the students, "Welcome to HECK!".

* BadBoss: Principal Faust. After Vice-Principal Bump challenges his views on the students, Faust has him go with Eda to the I.F.W.O.T. program, telling Bump he'll be fired if Eda doesn't get the school a blue ribbon. And by "firing", he probably means it literally.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Principal Faust expelled Hexside's best student for an extremely minor offense, jeopardizing the school's chances of getting another blue ribbon at I.F.W.O.T.

* ScholarshipStudent: Raine mentions that St. Epiderm is an expensive school, and that they're attending I.F.W.O.T. every year in exchange for a continued scholarship.

* ShoehornedAcronym: The "Instructing Future Witches Of Tomorrow" program, or "I.F.W.O.T.". Terra takes one look at it, and is so disappointed she replaces it with her own name: "Helping Enhance Coven Know-how" or "H.E.C.K.".
* ShoutOut: Eda's demonic principal is appropriately named after the [[{{Myth/Faust}} Germanic legend himself]].

** In light of Raine's PretendToBeBrainwashed routine in this episode, the events of "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" take on a whole new meaning. Raine whistles just before drinking Terra's tea in that episode, and it also explains their tears after Eda left them at the alley. And on a less spoilery note, a picture of the IFWOT ribbon was included in Eda's file on them.

* {{Lunacy}}: A discussion Eda and Lilith have at the beginning of the story shows that potion making can impacted by celestial alignment. Eda answers a trick question that, depending on the phase of the moon, a certain ingredient will have less potency and need to be doubled up proportion for any recipes that call for it.

* AbsenteeActor: This is the first episode since "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" where Amity isn't so much as mentioned.
