* "Rememberance of Courage Past", where Courage uses his trademark scream once again to subdue the mad doctor (pictured above) that shot his parents into space and was going to do the same to Muriel and Eustace. Then gives the evil vet a taste of his own medicine by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard launching him into space by his own rocket]]. For bonus points, the whole final chase and fight sequence is recreated from flashbacks to the time that the vet got his parents. Only this time Courage manages to trick and trap him by making some changes at some vital moments, essentially getting the chance to do this time right what he had wanted to do all this time ago. With ''all'' the dogs, especially Courage's parents, [[LaserGuidedKarma ready to deliver the payback he so richly deserves]].

** Blink and you'll miss it, but as Muriel's walking out of the kitchen, you'll see that she hit Eustace so hard that the rolling pin actually ''broke in half''. Either Eustace has one thick skull, or Muriel's got a heck of an arm on her.

* Eustace gets one in "Katz Candy" for frightening that evil jelly monster away and fighting against Katz over a candy making machine.

** Extra kudos to Marty Grabstein, for unleashing a full-volume scream for ''[[TheScream forty seconds straight]]!'' Muriel’s reaction sums it right up.

* "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog", Courage goes out to save Muriel again. This time he fights a powerful, evil empress (and the Chinese hipster Di Lung), and goes on an epic quest of trials that could fit in 11 minutes: saving a girl from being eaten by a tiger, narrowly escaping a barrage of poison arrows, catching and spitting back dragon fire ''with his mouth'', and then fighting the evil empress. I repeat. [[LovableCoward Courage.]] Was FIGHTING. The villain of the day! Usually he would get lucky or spend more time running for his life, but this time he stands his ground, makes a fighting pose and cries "Hi-yah!" The animation is noticeably sped up through the short sequence, and even when Di Lung shackles him, he still manages to reflect the empress's laser eyes back at her via convenient mirror. He takes all the lessons he learned (finding his center and using the enemy's force against them) and saves not just Muriel, but apparently all of China. "Yay!" indeed, Courage.

* Eustace gets one in "Klub Katz"; after the Bagges are stranded on the titular island Eustace and Muriel are turned into a wrecking ball and a washing machine respectively and forced to fight in an arena. As Courage (who willingly turns himself into a helicopter) rescues Muriel, Eustace suddenly notices that Katz is [[BerserkButton in his chair]]. He promptly flies into a rage and chases Katz around the island with the intent to ''kill'' him. Katz was never shown so utterly terrified of someone or something before, but considering what he's like, he totally deserves it.

** Another similar example in "Muriel Meets Her Match," after being framed for a crime she didn't commit and have all her documents stolen, she proceeds to accidentally single-handedly save the day.

** During the "saving Muriel" part, the old quilt with Eustace proves not to be quite enough to bring Muriel back, and Courage is about to be cornered by the Sisters again. What does he do? He ''tears off his own pelt'' and sews ''that'' in as well, which does the trick.

* In "The Quilt Club", after Muriel is sewed into the living quilt, the Stitch Sisters attempt to throw it away her box of memory quilts, but Courage suddenly pops out of it roaring at them with red string in hand. He then quickly ties them into submission and twirls them around into the chair, leaving them to watch helplessly as he saves Muriel. What makes this example stand out is that unlike most times where he's scared but stands strong against his adversaries, here he is genuinely pissed off by what they have done to Muriel. A prime example of why you should never try to harm this dog's family. And the best part? This is the only time in the entire show where Courage has managed to make the ''monsters'' scared of ''him''.

* Courage similary defeating the rats in "[[WholePlotReference The Nutcracker]]" while dancing to The Trepak. He gradually grows from paralysed with fear into a confident performer who ends up as the one chasing ''them'' around. Then he brings the dump down with some decently smart hits at the base and with an unusually seen self-satisfied smile. He sure has a penchant for dancing.

* Eustace riding an asteroid in "Mission to the Sun", swinging his hand in a loop and ''genuinely'' having a good time as he cheers during the flight. Not to mention that he comes just in time for Courage to get himself and Muriel off the sun by launching a grappling hook onto the flying rock.
