Four victims and four bullies: Rochelle and Bryan who physically bully Wilbur and Grover, and Fiona and Horace who verbally bully Becca and Stella. Someone can no longer stand people being made to feel helpless and scared and is targeting each victim's bully in turn. Despite not wanting to help bullies, Fillmore sets up a bodyguard system for some of the bullies and starts to work on who would want to have scared the bullies so much. The main suspects are obviously the four victims, but the victim of each bully has an alibi for when their tormentor was terrorized.

- Bodyguard Crush: O’Farrell lampshades this when he’s assigned to bodyguard Rochelle.

- Granola Girl: Stella Valencia. Given her protests and rallies she also counts as a Soapbox Sadie.
- Hard Truth Aesop: At the end of the episode, Ingrid wonders if they've actually accomplished anything, knowing how serious bullying is and it will eventually continue. This leads to Fillmore making a poignant, yet accurate statement on how bullying will only stop for good if everyone bands together to make it stop for good. But until that time comes, they just have to do their part, because it's all they can do
- I Resemble That Remark!: O’Farrell complains that he makes Fiona’s list of top ten fashion felons every year and doesn’t understand why. He then proceeds to leave his desk dressed in hipster glasses and a kilt.
- Nerdy Bully: Horace, who loves mocking people when they need his computer expertise. Becca even lampshades it after he says being a computer geek means he can't be a bully.

- Vigilante Militia: A group of frequently bullied students set out to subject the school's biggest bullies to disgusting pranks that leave them too traumatized to bully anyone else.
