Gil: Hey, Ronnie. Remember me?
Ron: Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean Gil isn't out to get me.
Kim: Told you he knew what he was doing...I think.
Ron: Woah. Mutant camoflage. That would be so cool if...Nevermind.
Barkin: You know, no matter how many times you get slimed by a genetic mutant, you never quite get used to it.
Bonnie: Looks like he already hit Band Camp.
Barkin: And Science Camp.
Kim: He's heading to Clown Camp!
Barkin: Those poor clowns.
Ron: Grotto. Always hated that word.
Ron: So, just because I'm a little paranoid, the entire camp's out to get me. And you know, you'd think at some point they'd run out of rotten vegetables to pelt me with!
Ron: You want proof? You can't handle the proof!
Kim: Try to keep an open mind. People can change.
Ron: That's what I'm afraid of.
Kim: That sounds great...in the magical world of Not Gonna Happen!
Kim: Ron! Could you maybe not celebrate the collapse of our pyramid?
Ron: Normally, I'd say we learned that suspicion and paranoia is bad, except that's what saved us.
Gill: Eat muck, chipmunk!
Ron: Beaver!
Ron: You can take the evil out of the lake, but you can never take the lake out of the evil.
Kim: Ron, that so doesn't even make sense.
Ron: Magic Mucka? Sounds worse than grotto!
Ron: Did he say...
Barkin: Camp, that's right. Cheeleaders and mascots. You got questions, comments or concerns?
Ron: Yes, yes, and YES!
Gil: Hey Ronnie, remember me? (runs over and hugs Ron)
Ron: (Screams like a girl) Kim! Rufus! He's got me!
Gil: You bet I do! Noogie!
Bonnie: Stoppable, come back here and save us, or more specifically, me!
Ron:(after being spayed with a waterhorse back to human self) Ahh, it feels good to be human again, but I really wanted to built a dam you know, just for the experience. |

| During the scene at camp, when the Middleton cheerleading team is demonstrating their cheer, we see Kim attempt to land on the shoulders of Bonnie and a blonde-haired cheerleader at the top of a pyramid formation, only to slip and fall. As she falls, the cheerleader beside Bonnie is raven-haired. But when the scene cuts back to Bonnie asking Kim, rather sarcastically, if she's ok, Bonnie is at the top of the pyramid, with no one beside her.
When Bonnie's first moving in to Cabin 9, she has two red bags, one of which she tosses on the top bunk, and the other in front of her. Once Kim walks up to her, the second red bag is suddenly nowhere to be found.
When Ron smiles after picking up the camp phone, there's an unexplained line under his mouth. It's too far down to be a bottom lip, so it's more than likely a missed cleanup line.
When they show Gill walking up to the cabin Ron hides in, they make a point of showing his slimy footprints in the closeup. However, in the aerial shot, he doesn't leave any footprints at all.
There are several scenes where there are no numbers on the cabins.
When Ron is changed into a big mutant beaver, he was barely wearing clothes, which either would have been ripped upon his transformation or dissolved in the goo. Yet when he changed back to human form, all his clothes return intact. Considering the number of times he's been stripped down in this series, it's surprising he wasn't seen in just his boxers in this episode.
At camp, when Kim falls into the suitcases, only one is blue, and the rest are brown. When she is zoomed in, there are several blue.
In "Sink or Swim", we are led to believe that it took Gill several months of swimming in the toxic lake to mutate, so how was Ron able to completely mutate after being in it for only few seconds?
^- The concentration of pollutants in the grotto was infinitely higher than it once was in the original lake. This is why the water is a different color, and why the new-and-improved Gill is larger and more powerful than last time.
Not really that much of a goof but-- In the closed captioning, Gil is refered to as "Gill", even though he has gone back to one l.
Re: to Ron's quick mutation. Remember that when Gill covers his enemies in his slime, they mutate, and (He probably lost SOME saliva while swimming. That, combined with the increasing toxic waste, would allow Ron to change almost instantaneously!
When Ron says "It's the only way.", his mouth doesn't move. |

Foreshadowing
In the two times regular beavers are shown, there's always one with a tuft of blonde hair that looks very similar to the giant mutant Ron will later become.
DYN?
Ron still has his freckles when he's a mutant beaver.
DYN?
The wide shot of the cheerleaders cheering near the end is a reused shot from earlier in the episode.
DYN?
For the first time, we see Kim wearing a watch.
DYN?
The Kimmunicator's batteries are rechargable.
DYN?
Kim and Bonnie work together, on a mission, for the first time in this episode.
Response to watch DYN
The watch DYN is inaccurate. Kim wore a watch in "Adventures in Rufus-sitting".
Re: Ron Follows His Own Advice
Actually, it's advice from the Fortress video game, which is reminded to Ron by the hologram of Cousin Larry. So, by all counts, it's not Ron's advice.
Ron follows his own advice
In "Monkey Fist Strikes", Ron thinks to himself, "I must become that which I fear most", when he runs to get hit by the Mystical Monkey Power. In "RtW", Ron does it again when he jumps into the toxic waste to become a mutant, which he "fears most".
Watch
Actually Kim had a watch on in The Golden Years and Adventures in Rufussitting.
Footprints
The close-up shot they use of Gill's slimy footsteps in this episode is the same they used in Sink or Swim.
Cabin 13 saves him again
Unless the other cabins have hidden doors in the floor, the cabin Ron ducks in to, and hides under the floorboards in is Cabin 13, his old Wannaweep haven.
Ron's repeatedlyness
Ron's "That would be so cool if--nevermind" line seems to be a partial reprise of his "That would be so cool if it wasn't gonna hurt us" line from earlier episodes.
DYN?
When Ron delivers his parody line ("You can't handle the proof") the score goes into a brief military riff.
DYN?
In this episode, we learn Gil's last name: "Moss".
Mad Dog Costume
This is the first time Ron is seen wearing the body part of his Mad Dog costume other than just the head.
DYN
Anyone else think Ron seems to suffer from Paranoia?
DYN?-teenaged Gil
When we see Gil as a human teen, he looks a lot like Shego. He even has a green tint to his compaction. Could they be related?
DYN?
This is only the second time in the series that Ron says Kim's catch phrase "What's the sitch?".
RE: What's the sitch?
Technically, that time in ASiT didn't really happen.

Ron: "You want proof? You can't handle the proof!"
This is a reference to the famous scene in "A Few Good Men" between Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson's character has taken the stand in a military hearing, and asks Tom Cruise's character "You want answers?"
To which Cruise replies, "I want the TRUTH!"
And Jack Nicholson's response: "You can't handle the truth!"
More Info
None: Bonnie getting into the shower/screaming
The score of the scene as well as its actions mimic the classic Alfred Hitchcock film *Psycho*.
Ron: The game's afoot, little buddy.
"The game's afoot" was uttered by famous detective Sherlock Holmes in the short story "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange."
Ron: Creature from the muck lagoon.
Ron puts a spin on the title of the horror movie classic The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Ron: "I'm keeping my friends close and my enemies closer."
An old expression used most famously in the "Godfather" movies.
None: Bonnie getting into the shower and screaming
I know it's kind of a stretch, but that part kind of reminds one of the R.L Stine book, "Cheerleaders--The First Evil", where in the shower room, cheerleader Bobbi Corcoran is locked in the shower room and is killed when scorching hot water comes out of the faucet. Just the feel of it, and the part where she screamed kind of reminded me of the book, nonetheless after Kim's banter of, "Oops, did I use up all the hot water?"
