* DarkerAndEdgier: Parodied: Given the episode contained an extended philosophical conversation between Dr. Loomis and Danny on the nature of evil, and Laurie's [[TooDumbToLive ill-advised decision]] to enlist the help of a ''still grieving'' Sheriff Brackett, Scott declares Part 2 of the campaign to be "The Grief Episode".
-->'''Scott''': So far, we've just been, like... meandering to different locations, and ''grieving''.



* JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant: When Jeff admits he's worried that he comes across as stupid due to "the way people talk to [him]", Scott asks in confusion if Jeff was actually meant to be black... because he thought Paulo said "the ''white'' people talk to [him]".
-->'''Joz''': Jeff gets really high, [[RaceLift and suddenly thinks he's black.]]

** When Dr. Loomis is buying guns, Paulo accidentally gives him [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_Auto_%26_Burglar an Ithaca Auto & Burglar]]. A little bit later, Joz looks it up, and shares it with Scott... who then proceeds to make fun of ''Joz'' for suggesting such a ridiculous gun, and praises ''Paulo'' for the better gun choice. It doesn't take long for it to be pointed out that the gun Scott was mocking ''was'' what Paulo gave him.
--->'''Joz''': [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe (laughs) This]] ''[[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe is]]'' [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe the gun I thought it was.]] [[JokeWeapon It was made in 1933.]]
--->'''Scott''': Oh man, I hope we're a little more advanced- [[FailedASpotCheck I'll stick with the Ithaca Auto & Burglar.]]
--->'''Joz''': (talking over Scott) You know what this looks like? This looks like one of those-
--->'''Scott''': [[WrongGenreSavvy You're]] ''[[WrongGenreSavvy ridiculous.]]'' You're ridiculous. For everyone who can't see it, it looks like a freaking ''musket'', okay? [[{{Misblamed}} She just, like, she was gonna give me a musket,]] [[TooDumbToLive thank God Paulo went into his gun bag and gave me the]] ''[[TooDumbToLive Ithaca Auto & Burglar-]]''
--->'''Andy''': [[AwfulTruth No, that's what that is.]]
--->'''Joz''': (at the same time) No, ''that's what you have.''

* FailedASpotCheck: When Dr. Loomis is purchasing guns, Paulo decides (via a bag full of random gun brands) one of the guns he gets is the Ithaca Auto & Burglar. A minute or so later, Joz looks it up, [[JokeWeapon and reveals how shit of a gun it is for Loomis to have...]] except Scott mistakenly thinks Joz was showing him a gun ''she'' wanted Loomis to get. No sooner does he praise Paulo for giving him the Ithaca Auto & Burglar in lieu of that gun, everyone points out what Joz was showing him ''was'' that gun.[[note]]Luckily, Paulo quickly owns up to his mistake, and gives him a better one.[[/note]]

* ForWantOfANail: While attempting to have sex with Judith during the prologue, Danny (due to a bad roll on Scott's end) "arrives too early"... but, instead of leaving, Danny tries ''again'' (and fails ''again''). What this means is that he's still in her room when Michael shows up to stab his sister, and this incident results in him [[AscendedExtra being more prominently involved in the plot]] when Dr. Loomis comes to town.

Ambiguous Disorder has been renamed to Diagnosed By The Audience and now belongs in YMMV.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Jeff the Police Officer is not very smart, has an underdeveloped, childlike personality, and is outright said by Laurie to have a brain different from those of other people. However, the story never gives him any specific condition or disorder.

* EpicFail: In between the two episodes, Scott crafted a theory that Michael Myers was trying to enact a new, thirteenth Station of the Cross. It was only after Dr. Loomis succeeded on an IQ roll that he remembered there are already fourteen stations of the cross. Especially notable in that two players were Catholic, and and Scott himself attended sixteen years of Catholic school.[[note]]Though it should be pointed out that, while the number of Stations is firmly placed at fourteen today, it varied ''highly'' historically; [[http://mb-soft.com/believe/txs/stations.htm according to Romanet Boffin]], who visited Jerusalem in 1515, there could be nineteen, twenty-five, thirty-one or thirty-seven Stations, depending on who you asked. Not only that, the widely-circulated 1584 book ''Jerusalem sicut Christi tempore floruit'' by Adrichomius ''does'' have [[http://mb-soft.com/believe/txs/stations.htm twelve Stations.]][[/note]]
