Spontaneous Human Combustion: A variation that sets the plot in motion. While the kids do explode there is no flame just a lot of blood and guts. | |

Empty Piles of Clothing | |
| Spontaneous / int_2c490738 | comment |
Empty Piles of Clothing: Well, bloodied piles are all that's left after the explosions. Most notable with Cole, who was wearing motorcross gear when he pops, making it all fall over in flate human shape. | |

Not Enough to Bury | |
| Spontaneous / int_3dc1e273 | comment |
Not Enough to Bury: Zig-Zagged - We see at least two caskets getting buried, but it's unclear if they're just for show or if whatever blood could be scraped is placed therein. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Spontaneous / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Over thirty students (including Dylan) are gone but Mara, Tess and the surviving students are seemingly safe from exploding with the pills being perfected. Mara learns to come to terms with loss and unpredictability, committing to living in the moment and even fulfilling some of her childhood dream (like hanging out in a beach house with Tess). | |

Hope Spot | |
| Spontaneous / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: When when it seems that scientists have created the right medication to keep students from exploding, the students return to school after weeks without an incident. Then kids start exploding at a more rapid rate then before with Dylan being one of them. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Spontaneous / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Dylan is a film buff, so both him and people close to him namedrop Cronenberg, Back to the Future, Traffic (2000), ET, and others. Mara's Halloween costume is from Carrie (1976), though only Dylan recognizes her without the bloody splatter. | |

Ludicrous Gibs | |

Ludicrous Gibs: Mostly averted. People explode into what's either pure blood or a bloody puree with no identiable tissues. The exception: Part of Dylan's jawbone did manage to hit Mara's forehead. | |
