History Recap / TheGhostAndMollyMcGeeS1E40MollyVsTheGhostWorld

* TrashTheSet: The Flow of Failed Phantoms is destroyed when every single ghost that comprises it is simultaneously set free, leaving the sky around the Ghost Council's platform the same black void as the rest of the Ghost World

* TouchOfDeath: Somewhat {{Inverted}}, in that it's more "touch of pure Joy", but for the thoroughly negative and miserable Ghost Council and the Chairman, Molly's positive nature is complete anathema to them, and all it takes is a finger poke to dissolve the Chairman's skeleton into rainbows and flowers and leaving only his cloak behind. Scratch and Geoff are able to touch her no problem, and other ghosts and supernatural entities are merely "Joyified" by contact with Molly, implying that this effect only works on ghosts that have no positive emotions at all.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: InUniverse, the RetroUniverse aesthetic of the Ghost World is due to the fact that it only gets new things after it "dies"/becomes obsolete, so they have video rental stores and have apparently only just acquired flip phones.

* EvilLaugh: Molly does one when she tells the Ghost Council they made a mistake by sending her and Scratch to the Flow of Failed Phantoms.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: The Ghost Council declare that it would be too cruel to separate Molly and Scratch, much to their delight. Then [[BaitAndSwitchComment the Council declares that both of them will be sent into the Flow of Failed Phantoms]].

* GoldenSuperMode: Molly's Wraith form is colored gold, unlike every other ghost in the Ghost World, and has the power to turn everything she touches to Joy. She also [[BurningWithRage flares up]] when she threatens the Council not to interfere with her and Scratch's return home.

* SoMuchForStealth: Molly and Geoff attempt to move through Ghost World without drawing attention, but Molly's bright orange color and her ability to spread joy to everything she touches quickly eliminates that option.

* TouchOfDeath: Somewhat {{Inverted}}, in that it's more "touch of pure joy and positivity," but for the thoroughly negative and miserable Ghost Council and the Chairman, Molly's positive nature is complete anathema to them, and all it takes is a finger poke to dissolve the Chairman's skeleton into rainbows and flowers and leaving only his cloak behind. Scratch and Geoff are able to touch her no problem, and other ghosts and supernatural entities are merely "joyified" by contact with Molly, implying that this effect only works on ghosts that have no positive emotions at all.

* HolyBurnsEvil: Molly's joy is so potent that the Chairman is destroyed from a single [[FingerPokeOfDoom "boop" to the nose]].

* KryptoniteFactor: Being practically an incarnate of fear and misery does no good for the Chairman when Molly, a being overflowing with positivity, touches him while in her astral form.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The Ghost Council banishes both Molly and Scratch to the Flow of Failed Phantoms to stop them spreading joy, [[DidntThinkThisThrough completely forgetting that]] ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough everything Molly touches turns to joy]]''. Her positivity dissolves the entire Flow of Failed Phantoms, releasing '''every ghost banished to it''' along with her and Scratch.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Chairman and the Ghost Council send Molly and Scratch to the Flow of Failed Phantoms, to keep them from spreading joy. Molly's joy ends up destroying the Flow of Failed Phantoms and the Chairman, the Council's main means of exerting control over other ghosts.

* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: The witnesses the Ghost Council summon for Scratch's trial talk aobut how much Scratch helped them in previous episodes. The Council treats these anecdotes as horrible crimes and evidence for why Scratch should be banished to the Flow of Failed Phantoms.
