Coran plans several publicity events for Voltron to boost morale and convince more worlds to join the Coalition.

* CrosscastRole: InUniverse. Given that Keith is [[CommutingOnABus elsewhere]], Coran has Allura play his role.

* SanitySlippage: Coran gets more and more over the top as the episode goes on.

** Coran channels Princess Leia at the end of the episode.

** The way Coran attracts the Meerakeet is similar to the famous T-Rex scene in Jurassic Park.

* AffectionateParody: Coran's Voltron shows clearly fall under this when recapping the story thus far.

In order to gain more followers for the Coalition, Coran decides that the paladins could put on a few more shows for the war effort. However, nothing they do seems to be working, and after haggling for a drug from the Unilu swap shop owner from Space Mall, Coran puts the paladins in increasingly ridiculous performances to draw people in.
