* AmbiguousSituation:
** In "The Big Gig Problem", Peg feels afraid and has forgotten what twenty-three plus one is. She herself doesn't know whether she forgot the number due to [[PerformanceAnxiety stage fright]] or "chicken fright", or if she forgot of her own accord and is experiencing "counting fright" as a result.
** In "The Sushi Problem", some fish that Peg, Cat, and Aki planned to make into sashimi gets stolen. They follow the Pig to the thief, but they never find out whether he intended to lead them to the thief or was just wandering aimlessly coincidentally in the right direction.


Added DiffLines:

* FormulaBreakingEpisode:
** Downplayed for "The Scrap of Map Problem", which is mostly a normal episode, except 99% of the dialogue is sung.
** In "Yet Another Tree Problem", the intro features Cat singing Peg's lines, and Peg doesn't help solve the problem. Justified in that the problem is she's stuck in a tree.

Indentation fix. Re-adding example that was deleted without explanation


* OncePerEpisode: When the really BIG problem of the moment starts to overwhelm Peg, she starts [[FreakOut "totally freaking out!"]] It takes Cat holding up both hands toward her in a warding-off pose to get Peg to realize that she needs to snap out of it, most of the time this is done by counting backwards from five to calm down although there have been exceptions.
