* AmbiguousSyntax: Mr. and Mrs. Botsford are going to see the cat art exhibit at the museum. When Becky notes that that's a lot of pictures of cats, Mrs. Botsford replies that it's not paintings ''of'' cats, it's paintings ''by'' cats.
* AngryFistShake: Granny May does this gesture as she's being arrested.
* BrickJoke: The dummy that Granny May sets up in the Botsford residence to cover for her going to commit crimes comes back at the end of the episode, where Mr. Botsford mistakes it for the real deal and tries to pay it for the babysitting job.
* DoesThisMakeMeLookFat: Bob asks this about the dummy of himself he's inflating. Considering the dummies are a good deal rounder than the originals, he's not entirely off.
* DramaticDrop: Becky drops the book she's holding when she finds out that Granny May is going to be her babysitter.
* LoudGulp: Bob loudly swallows the grapes he's eating when he first finds out that Granny May is the Botsfords' babysitter.
* NotSoInnocentWhistle: Mr. Botsford does this when he accidentally knocks over Granny May's inflatable dummy (which he thinks is the real thing).
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: When Becky and TJ have been sent to their rooms for a third time by Granny May:
-->'''TJ:''' Becky? I'm. Still. Bored.
* RuleOfThree: After sending the children she's babysitting to bed, Granny May makes three different attempts at stealing the Maz-o-car, being stopped by [=WordGirl=] each time. [=WordGirl=] finally apprehends her at the third attempt. [=WordGirl=] also has to come up with a new excuse so TJ won't notice her leaving all three times.

'''The Birthday Girl:''' [=WordGirl=] meets the Birthday Girl - a spoiled brat who enlarges when she doesn't get her way. This part's associated vocabulary words are "generous" and "exaggerate".
'''Granny-Sitter:''' Granny May answers an ad to be the Botsfords' new babysitter. This part's associated vocabulary words are "investigate" and "accelerate".
----
!!"The Birthday Girl" contains the following tropes:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The store Eileen gets her dresses from is called Debbie's Darling Dresses.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Reginald finds the idea of a house-sized ten-year-old girl running around to be farfetched, even though giant robots regularly cause havoc in the city and he's been robbed more than once by a man with the power to summon meat products from thin air.
* DraggedByTheCollar: After Reginald proves to be of no help in Violet and [=WordGirl=]'s hunt for Eileen, the angry Violet drags a slightly stunned [=WordGirl=] away by the arm to continue their quest.
* TheDreadedPretendTeaParty: Eileen throws one with Bob as the unwilling guest after she kidnaps him. He's happy about the cookies she's serving, but less so about the pink, frilly dress she makes him wear.
* FoodAsBribe: Bob very reluctantly puts on the pink dress Eileen wants him to wear at her tea party in exchange for a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
* KingKongClimb: The roles are reversed as Eileen, in her giant green form, climbs a tower with Bob the monkey in her hand. A witness lampshades this, asking if it should be the monkey holding the girl.
* LudicrousPrecision: By smelling the tea in Bob's abandoned coffee cup, [=WordGirl=] is somehow able to tell that it's been cold for 32 minutes and 16 seconds.
* MediumAwareness: When Violet asks how [=WordGirl=] knew she was at the jewelry store, [=WordGirl=] replies that it was thanks to her super hearing. And that they need to keep the story moving.
* ReflectiveEyes: When Eileen sees a giant gold star on a building, it gets reflected in her eyes, making them look like star-shaped WingdingEyes.
* RunningGag: Becky/[=WordGirl=] getting more and more frustrated at Eileen's ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
