* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: Jessebelle's trousers in her "tamer" outfit have very similar coloration to her skin, which can [[NudeColoredClothing give the impression that she's not wearing any]]. The scene's BDSM undertones ''really'' don't help.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Growlie, James' adorable and loyal Growlithe who saves him from Jessebelle in the episode's climax. Plenty of fans wished that he got to join James and become a series regular.

I... don't really get how Jessebelle is supposed to be Narmy. She's ALWAYS played for laughs and her similarities to Jessie are joked-about in universe.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: Jessebelle's abuse of James, while ''not'' treated as acceptable or okay, is so absurdly over the top that it makes for some of the show's funniest slapstick comedy, especially once she lures James into the infamous "sex dungeon".

While there's a lot of BlackComedy to it, just ''imagine'' how scary it is to be romantically pursued by someone who ''just will not take no for an answer'', especially when your own parents are not only insensitive to your terror, but actively ''encourage'' your abuser to keep hurting you.
