* DeliberateUnderPerformance: In "Vamps Just Wanna Have Fun", after being lectured by Bloodgood on how their over-competitiveness tends to ruin the Family Day events for the other families, Draculaura, Deuce, and their respective moms agree to try and lose on purpose so this doesn't happen again. This only leads to their competitive natures flaring up again as they race for last place -- which leads to the same results as their usual fights for first, as not only do their attempts at losing interfere with the other families, but Clawdeen and Frankie end up disheartened seeing them hold themselves back.
