----------------------------------------------------------------

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Dr. Wheelwright developed his fear toxin by [[ProfessorGuineaPig testing it on himself]] and has so used to being afraid that he fear nothing anymore. Until Chuck brings him to Jeff and Lester's Aisle of Terror, that is.
* ActionMom: Chuck's mom shows herself to be TheAce at being a spy.
* BulletProofVest: Chuck's life is saved by one when he's shot in the chest by Frost. Later, she claims she knew he was wearing it all along.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Mary her ParentalAbandonment of Chuck and Ellie was due to her being a DeepCoverAgent for Volkoff. She says she rather not know anything about them in order not to reveal anything if she's ever caught or tortured.
* DeepCoverAgent: Mary claims to be one for Volkoff as "Frost" and claims that there is no evidence of this because her CIA records were expunged when she went undercover. Casey and Sarah are skeptical, and when Casey tries to have her story checked only to learn it's all fake and that she has gone rogue.
* DoubleMeaning: Chuck when he says his "heart hurts" after being shot by his mom. Both due to his betrayal, and due to her shooting him in his heart area.
* FauxHorrific: Jeff and Lester's Aisle of Terror. Images said to induce horror in even the most fearless. Images like old people, public showers, babies in snail costumes, and otters. Hilariously subverted at the climax, when Chuck uses the Aisle Of Terror to terrorize Dr. Wheelwright, who has been [[HoistByHisOwnPetard affected by his own fear toxin]] and finds the Aisle ''truly'' horrific.
* FeetFirstIntroduction: PlayedWith, while we see Chuck's mom earlier in the episode as "Frost", her first shot is of her foot-stomping out of her car.
* HalloweenEpisode: The episode takes place in Halloween, with Buy More having a FauxHorrific Aisle of Terror and the VillainOfTheWeek being a SupernaturalFearInducer.
* HamToHamCombat: Chuck narrating the fears in the "Aisle of Terror" to Dr. Wheelwright, whose responses are just as hilarious.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Frost first gives Chuck the information about Dr. Wheelwright, only for her to turn up at their trap for Wheelwright to rescue him from Chuck, shooting her own son in the heart. Then she shows up at the Buy More and asks him to get into the car with her, where she tells him she pretended to kill him because Volkoff was tapped to the security cameras and she had to keep up appearances. And then Casey finds out she actually did actually go rogue and her DeepCoverAgent doesn't check out.
