* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: What Beast is mistaken for. One of the scientists even shows off a plaster mold of a footprint as a reference.
* CityMouse: Evan has assorted troubles in the woods, including poison ivy.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: The head scientist sees the supposed Bigfoot as a miracle of nature and wants it properly taken care of.


Added DiffLines:

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Beast's complaint at the start of the episode. He can't even go outside most of the time, and he has rage issues that'd make interacting with others in disguise difficult. While he enjoys being out in nature, he also resists it because it reminds him he's no longer part of normal society.
* ItCanThink: The head scientist is amazed when Beast starts talking to him. He agrees to help Beast upon realizing he's sentient.
* LampshadeHanging: Xavier points out he could make Beast a holo-watch like Kurt's. Beast isn't interested because it's still technically hiding and because his anger issues could easily get out of control.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Beast is regretful that his late-night excursion nearly got people hurt and threatened the other mutants with exposure.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Kitty suggested the field trip to help cheer Beast up. It ultimately leads to Beast being hunted and stuck in a cage.


Added DiffLines:

* WrongGenreSavvy: Unaware of mutants, the scientists and hunters think they've got a real Bigfoot on their hands.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: The hunters' attempt to tell the other scientists about Beast talking and the mutant kids' powers.
