Hedge and Guineas (I'm leaving out Vlad because he was K.O.'d during this scene) had been Damien's close associates for years (inasmuch as Damien had any associates at all). He would have had to conceal the fact that he could shapeshift from them for several years.

Bah, whatever doesn't break you makes you stronger!

Hedge had known Damien for years, and would probably know if Damien had much shapeshifting ability beyond the normal Seyunolu "shift between any mix of parental species forms" ability, unless it was an ability that Damien kept extremely well-hidden even from his closest associates. Hedge would not have to have seen Damien in a Nioi-like form before; he would merely need to be aware of whether Damien was capable of disguising himself in general.

If Voltaire was not watching Elliot at home that morning, he might not even have been aware that Elliot had gained the Cheerleadra spell, and instead was expecting Elliot to fight using the powers that Elliot was previously known to have (Cat-man transformation and Anime-Style Martial Arts).

Given that she apparently doesn't have fine enough control to enlarge her clothes separately from herself while she's wearing them, there are two ways she could have saved her clothes: 1: remove them or 2: shrink herself in a hurry

It sounds like you might want to mark the bottles with something colorful in order to make them visually distinctive from each other. Stickers, colored sticky tape, colored marker pens, whatever works, as long as there's a big spot of bright and different color on each one.

There is also the possibility that Pandora was the one who marked Dex, but it was Voltaire who gave him the pendant (and the telepathic commands). It would explain why there was a time lag in between getting the mark and getting the pendant.

Also, whoever was influencing Dex had commanded him to make a suicide attack on the Dojo by having him make the Dragon fire on his own position. It seems uncharacteristic of Pandora to try to make somebody commit suicide unless they had done something to seriously anger her (e.g. Abraham). Also, Grace was at Ground Zero for that blast, and Grace is fairly high on Pandora's "protect" list. As for the idea that it was a False Flag operation by Voltaire, we do have his own monologue implying that he views Pandora as an adversary, what with calling Elliot her pawn and all. Also, the idea that Tara was his second pawn (or perhaps "knight", since we are using a chess metaphor) with which to kill Elliot after Dex failed would explain why he was losing patience after Tara likewise failed to kill Elliot--his abandonment of Plan A for Plan CM come off as rather sudden if that had been his first attempt, but if he had been trying since April, then his impatience makes much more sense.

Justin kicked that Fire Guy into the river. That's talent worthy of a Striker position, not to be wasted on the sidelines.

They could make it an all-women's team, but that would require Justin to submit to being transformed.

Ah, I knew I had seen a movie like that somewhere (man with two women, both about to birth babies of whom he is the father, and both women unaware of the other), but I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of it.

By "length", do you mean body height? Because hair length is something that has nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with the choices of the person (and that person's parents).

Needing to focus on the clothing would probably lead to more amusing shenanigans . . . besides, it's cute seeing characters shrink out of their clothes.

You require more Vespene gas!

At least they're not made of fake rice.

That would be amusing . . . Hmm, she should come to a party hosted by one of the main cast, and do this for party favors.

Nonsense! They have the protection of the magical shield of ignorance!

The "can't stop smiling" would be why I was thinking that Edward might feel that Tedd has sexy shenanigans on the brain. That and such lines as "You can't argue with a hot chick showing that much skin".

Ah, but as Edward said, the saving grace (not Grace) is that nobody saw Elliot Dunkel transform to Cheerleadra (or Cheerleadra transform to Elliot Dunkel). They saw the pink-haired girl transform into Cheerleadra. Only those people who already had some clues about Elliot (Catalina, Tensaided, etc.) were able to connect the dots immediately--those few who were reminded of male Elliot when Voltaire called Cheerleadra "Elliot Dunkel" appeared to be inclined toward the "nah, it couldn't be him that the glowy guy was talking about" conclusion. Edward seems to be running on the fallacy that exposure to girl-forms might reinforce any desire to be female--it's roughly analogous to the idea that many homophobic individuals have that hanging around with homosexual people will make someone who was otherwise borderline take the plunge--i.e. "hanging around with gay people and doing gay things will make you gay". I in no way condone the idea that it is possible to create such desires where they don't already exist, but some people believe that it is a real thing. Alternatively, he may simply be refusing to believe that Tedd is not "perving out" on being able to see and touch female flesh as he wishes--note all of his warnings against doing anything "naughty" with Grace, as though Edward had expected that Tedd would try.

The real test is whether Elliot can keep a straight face and not panic when somebody at school confronts him about it. If Elliot can calmly dismiss the claim as nonsense, then people (outside of those who know him somewhat closely, such as Tensaided and Catalina) will tend to believe him, since claiming that a clearly female character (Cheerleadra) who was clearly seen transforming from a "secret identity" that was also female, is in truth a male, appears ridiculous in light of the fact that almost nobody not-in-the-know knows of Elliot changing into girl forms in the first place.

Well, really, if you can't be within a lightyear's distance of your old position for each year backwards you travel, then is it really the past? The causality issues of time travel all stem from the idea of information or matter being transferred from the older self to the younger self, whether direct (encounter the younger self) or indirect (do something in the past that results in the younger self doing things differently).

Yes, Rich doesn't know when to shut his mouth, and I am willing to bet that he was either never a Moperville North student, or left before Susan became the Hammer Queen. Everybody who has attended Moperville North in the last two and a half years (i.e. since the France trip) is aware that she hammers people--though the few who knowingly provoke her, such as Tony, are probably willing to tolerate getting hammered as the price for getting their comments in.

I wouldn't know about seeing new objects literally 100 years away--by the time an incoming object crosses the orbit of Neptune, it's within thirty-six years of reaching Earth's distance, even if it has ZERO speed beyond that which it gains from falling sunward from that distance. In short, 90% of the Kuiper Belt objects are less than a century away from us, so we'd have to map EVERY hundred-meter object within that radius. . . and we are just BARELY able to see the Pluto-sized ones that far out with our current best telescopes.

Time travel into the PAST is impossible. Going into the FUTURE is trivial, as long as you don't need to come back. You just need to suspend the passage of time for your future-traveler until the appropriate amount of time has elapsed--this is fundamentally what Abraham is doing when he petrifies himself.

Now they just need a special "calling Cheerleadra" ringtone that goes "zee zee zee".
