When Dexter freaked out in his lab and the little girl said she loves him, his science book disappears.
At the start, Dexter drops his book when he goes to return the creepy girl's bunny, but the next day, after the test, he has it back in his locker.
The cute eyed girl and boy are references to chibi (miniature-cute eyed) style anime/manga that was popular among teens.
