* TheStinger: While a stage show can't have an after-credits scene, the homecoming scene and its song feel a lot like a grand finale, only for one more scene and song to take place afterward: [[spoiler:Grace Chasity still has the Black Book and has begun to harvest the souls of "dirty dudes" for her own means.]]
* SurprisinglyHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Played with. The scene at homecoming ''really seems'' like it's the end of the show, with a big, cheerful group song, the OfficialCouple together, the BigBad defeated, and all the loose ends tied up, making this seem like the first Hatchetfield musical to have a straightforwardly happy ending. But the show ''isn't'' over; there's one more scene and song, revealing Grace has begun to use the Black Book to continue working with the Lords in Black to kill anyone she deems sexually and morally impure. It's less depressing ending than most Hatchetfield stories, since the world at whole isn't in danger (''yet''), and Steph and Pete at least seem to be safe, but it definitely puts the show in BittersweetEnding territory.]]

*SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Psychology
** Max Jagerman has been to anti-bullying seminars. However, since in reality, standard therapy doesn't work on sociopath/narcissist -type disorders and only teaches them to use Therapy Speak to further abuse people, Max beats up people for walking in 'his' hallway, even if they didn't mean to bother him by doing it, telling them that "there's a difference between intent and impact."
** Grace Chasity [[spoiler: has sex with Max Jagerman, giving up what she treasures most (her virginity) in exchange for the Lords in Black dragging Max to hell. But simply getting laid (especially in a dubcon situation) doesn't fix her deep-rooted [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny psychosexual issues]]. She gets even worse and starts seducing boys and then killing them for being 'dirty dudes'.]]

* UndignifiedDeath: The murders are themed after being lethal versions of the kinds of torment bullies visit on nerds. Officer Bailey immediately picks up on this, noting that Richie's chest lacerations and subsequent drowning in the toilet can be interpreted as having been "purple nurpled and {{swirlie}}d to death". [[spoiler:Ruth's death is a substantially more gruesome version, as she meets her demise via [[{{Wedgie}} Atomic Wedgie]], presumably severing her in half at the perineum.]]
