This contrasts with the other episodes, where she's very intelligent and is a loyal friend to Jorel's brother.

** The family used to have a housemaid and babysitter named Rose, who was a purple one-eyed octopus. She vanished from the series gradually despite appearing regularly in the first season, and only comes back briefly in the 100th episode as a continuity nod.
** The old episodes were usually formed by normal childhood situations with surreal, fantastic elements, being inspired by things from the producers' lifes, usually from when they were kids. Later episodes became much more bizarre with a greater focus on the series' lore.
** Season 1 was basically all episodic, with a few [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nods]] thrown in, such as reappearance of characters. As of season two, the episodes mostly follow sagas and story arcs.
