Rose: (Doing a presentation with Jake) Dragons are heavily armored along the head and back. You wanna go for their soft under bellies.
Jake: Uh, just for the record, that's all muscle down there baby! (edit) (Jake and Rose are dancing at the "Slayer Shinding" at the Huntsclan Academy)
Rose: Get ready.
Jake: What'd you have in mind as a distraction.
Rose: You'll see, this is a school just like any other.
(She whispers something in a girl's ear who immediately runs and whispers it to another girl and it spreads around the room to one of the two girls Spud is dancing with; suddenly the music stops)
Female Huntsclan student: You said what about me?!
(She and the other girl dancing with Spud begin fighting) (edit) (Jake is chained to the wall in a dungeon like jail cell; a rattling is heard from the door and Rose enters)
Rose: I'm getting you out of here.
Jake: If I'm gone in the morning they're gonna blame you. I can't let that happen, you have to slay me.
Rose: But--
Jake: Two of us are going into that arena. Only one of us is coming out.

Rose: Don't--
Jake: You'll get reinstated with the Huntsman and go back to New York. You can find out what he's planning and stop him.
Rose: There has to be another way. (edit) (2 Huntsgirls are fighting over Spud on their table in the cafeteria)
Jake: Uh, Spud. Shouldn't we be breaking this up or something?
Spud: Probably. But when is this gonna to happen to me again? GO LADIES! FIGHT FOR THE TROPHY THAT IS ME! (edit) Huntsclan teacher: Class, you will see a demonstration from my assistant, someone who has faced Dragons before. Huntsgirl!
(The door opens to reveal Rose, as Huntsgirl, flipping into the room)
Jake: (as Huntsgirl flips him on his back) Rose?!
Huntsgirl: Lesson one. Never let your guard down. Dragons are heavily armored along the back and head, you want to go for there soft underbellies.
Jake: Just for the record, that's all muscle down there baby!
Huntsgirl: Dragons have another weak spot--
Spud: (as number 89) Behind the left ear right. That's why they're such babies when you flick them behind the ear at the skatepark snack bar when they can't decide between chili-fries and hotdog (Jake's glaring at him) I mean that's what I've read about them.
Huntsgirl: Correct number 89 (Huntsgirl lifts Jake by his left ear) A direct hit behind the left ear will result in a clean slay. And one more thing, never show a Dragon mercy. Ever. (edit) (Number 88 and 89 are in a cage playing a video game)
#89(to Fu): You know, you can't treat us like this. It's like totally barbaric.
#88(holds up his cup): Okay, I want a refill with a twist of lemon.
(A beep comes from the game)
#89: Ha! I win!
#88: What?! I was just getting a refill, that is an automatic time-out!
#89: No, you have to call "soda-freeze."
#88: What?! That's not a rule, you just made that up.
#89: Not-uh!
#88: Yeah-huh!
#89: Not-uh!
#88: Yeah-huh!
Fu: Okay that's it!! I gotta go unload some cargo and when I get back I don't want to here a peep out of either one of you two!! (edit) (Jake and Rose are about to have their showdown)
Rose: (in a sad tone) Any last requests?
Jake: (same tone) Just one.
(Jake and Rose lean toward the edges of their cages and manage to kiss) (edit) Jake: I can't believe it. Rose is here.
Spud: Yeah and she's also teaching a class on how to carve up Dragons like Thanksgiving turkey!! (edit) Spud: You did this to him! You evil-two-faced-ninja-dragon-slaying-she-witch!
Rose (slightly annoyed): Spud! Do you remember the potion you and Jake made?
Spud: Yeah, the guy said that it would only give a Dragon the appearence of death. But, I can't possibly see how that has anything to do with what's going on here. (pause) Ohhh!!
Rose: That's right. It was Jake's idea: he had me whip up another potion and plant it in the dome before the battle; we pretended to fight long enough for him to find it.
Spud: Sorry I called you a two-faced-evil-ninja-Dragon-slaying-she-witch. It's just the first thing that came into my mind, well actually the first thing that came into my mind was a monkey riding a unicicle, and a---(Rose cuts him off)
Rose: Apology accepted. (edit) #89: Dude, I am so wicked pysced to slay my first Dragon!
#88: First Dragon I see I'm gonna be like: 'what now sucker!' And he's gonna be like: 'no spare me might number 88!' and I'm gonna be like wikka-waaaak--
(Jake and Gramps are right in front of them)
#89(stamering): Drag--dra--dra--dra--Dragon!!
(both run of screaming) (edit) Rose: (As she is leaving Jake and Spud) I told you in the dream, Jake...you can't save me. (edit)

Right before the redhead and the blonde first fought over Spud, the blonde's Huntsclan number was 23 but when they were on the floor it was 32. (edit) In season two, Rose's hair is straight, and she doesn't wear a headband as she did in season one. (edit) Spud snatches a #44 patch off of the other student's uniform. But when he puts it on his own arm, it has changed to a #42 patch. (edit) Sara and Kara (The oracle twins) used to both be redheads. Now Sara has blonde hair and Kara has jet black hair. (edit) When the redhead and blonde are arguing over who gets to be Spud's date, the redhead throws the blonde, but the redhead is the one who lands on the table as if she were thrown. (edit) A dragon's 2 main weak-points are it's underbelly and right behind it's left ear. (edit)

The creature named the Kraken in this episode also shares its name with a giant octopus style creature that used to terrorise the 7 seas in sailor mythology. (edit) This episode is similar to the Teen Titans episode Deception. Cyborg infiltrates the H.I.V.E. academy in order to find out what they are planning. (edit) The "backdoor" Spud was refering to is a term given to entrances programers put in programs so that they can get into the program if it's locked out because of a virus or another reason. This is the easiest way for hackers to enter programs. (edit) Spud's extreme knowledge of technology (specifically Huntsclan technology) mimics Tucker Foley's love of technology in general on Danny Phantom. (edit) The potion that Jake used to fake his own death in the arena was similar to the potion that was used in "Romeo and Juliet" When Juliet faked her own death. The main difference in Jake's and Rose's situation was that they both knew about the potion. (edit)
