The Chan Clan are summoned by Uncle's old flame Yan Lin to help train the new generation of Guardians, soon dragging them all into the conflict on Meridian.
- Amicable Exes: Uncle and Yan Lin used to date when they were younger. While no longer a couple, they're still very good friends.
- And I'm the Queen of Sheba: Cornelia says she's Gandalf the Grey if Uncle is a wizard. He responds by conjuring a Chinese dragon that whacks her before vanishing.
- Boxing Lessons for Superman: The reason the Chans are brought to Heatherfield is to help train the Guardians, with Jackie and Jade teaching them kung fu, and Uncle and Tohru handling the magic side of things.
- Canon Welding: Daolon Wong serves Prince Phobos, allowing him to act as a main antagonist in accordance to Season 3 of JCA.
- Continuity Nod:
- When a fortune cookie tells Jade that she'll make a new best friend, she comments that it's an improvement from "danger looms in your future".
- As a reference to the Demon Sorcerers' elemental pattern, Jade asks if Will's elemental power is thunder, sky, mountain, or moon.
- Family Theme Naming: To continue with the Chan Clan's "J" naming, Uncle is given the name Jin.
- Named by the Adaptation: Canonically, Uncle is never referred to as anything else. Here, he’s revealed to be named Jin.
- Refusal of the Call: Shocked from learning that magic is real, Will refuses to take up the Guardian responsibilities until Jackie gives her an encouraging speech.
- You Are Not Alone: Jackie pulls Will out of her Refusal of the Call attitude by assuring her that she won't be alone with her Guardian responsibilities, for the other girls are new to magic as well, and they have him and his family to help them out.
- You Didn't Ask: Uncle's reply to the rest of the Chan Clan's bewilderment over learning that he had a girlfriend.
