* Some people had a problem how Molly just happened to be capable of saving herself and Scratch from the Flow of Failed Phantoms and kill the Chairman easily, calling it a cop out. However, it was clear as day that Molly's situation was the first of it's kind. No one really knew what to do about it, since Molly's positivity level has never been seen before, so of course it was shocking to see, Molly is the first.

* The series begins with Molly, having travelled around her whole life, settling down into her "forever home." The series ends with [[spoiler:Scratch/Todd going to travel the world after leaving the home he's been stuck at forever.]]

* At the end of the show's fanale, everyone who knew Scratch (Molly, her family and Libby, Geof) acts as if he had passed away (phrases like "he would have loved that," etc.), even though he had just come back alive. The reversal is kinda cool when you think about it.

* "Jinx vs. The Human World" ends with the titular ghost getting trapped in the Phantom Canister with the vicious Frightmares. Jinx was quite a piece of work, but if and when she gets out of there, how much is going to be '''left''' of her?

* Remember the business suit monkey from "All in the Mind"? Given that Todd had a SoulCrushingDeskJob and never took up Adia's offer to join her on her adventures, that may have been how he saw himself.

* With the knowledge from the finale that simply being so depressed will cause your soul to leave your body like with Todd Mortenson, how many ghosts are like Scratch in that they're actually wraiths who have forgotten that they're still alive?

* Geoff’s habit of correcting people on how to spell his name makes considerably more sense when we find out he’s been in a relationship with Jeff-with-a-J for years. He didn’t want people getting them mixed up.

* In 'Fit to Print' we see that Sharon is impartial to the whole Turnip Burger using parsnips from Perfektborg when everyone else is shocked. It makes sense given Sharon isn't a native Brighton denizen, meaning she wouldn't care if a burger was made with a rival town's ingredients.

to:

* The fact that the Chen's blasters have a setting that is implied to be able to ''kill'' ghosts, and the fact that unlike the phantom canister, there is no mention of it being just a protoype, suggests that the Chens have destroyed ghosts before. Given that Ollie is shown to feel guilty in the next episode episode after he learns that not all ghosts are bad, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone how will the rest of his family feel]] should they also be convinced to stop hunting innocent ghosts?

to:

* In the first episode, Scratch admits at the end that he's partial to two things: tacos and strawberry soda. This is also the first time he starts to lighten up to the idea of Molly sticking around. In "A Soda to Remember", it turns out strawberry soda is attached to a memory of Scratch's childhood friend, who lived in the same house Molly does. First, this shows the writers were planting the seeds for Scratch's backstory early on, but second, this may symbolize that, subconsciously, Scratch connects strawberry soda to friendship.

* In "A Period Piece", when Libby and Andrea are starting to get along after Libby got her first period and they're able to bond over it, Molly isn't just jealous of their bond, but she's noticeably a little aggressive towards Andrea. Molly's aggressive towards Andrea is likely because she's worried that Andrea would takeover her sleepover and make Libby her new best friend, similar to how she hijacked her movie back in "Hooray For Mollywood".

to:

* Scratch having memory problems about who he was when he was alive has always been pretty apparent. Pretty much every other ghost we meet has had a human first name from Geoff to Harriet, but Scratch's name is clearly inhuman. It just took till Season 2 for it to be spelled out in story.

Basic thought, but Darryl probably couldn't order it to the house and had another place to ship to.



to:

* One might wonder why Darryl had to give Molly and Libby the rare bottle of soda at school, thus ensuring that the plot happens. Even if they didn't know about the anti-soda initiative, that would come with a long wait to be able to have Scratch try it and risks the bottle being damaged or destroyed somehow. However it would in fact make a lot of sense of Darryl couldn't order the item to their home and had to pick up either at school or very close to it. Darryl is constantly getting up to shenaniganry and schemes that his mother admits in another episode she has no idea what or how they are, and the items for them have to come from ''somewhere'', and as Shannon also would prefer Darryl ''not'' do such things, his own order destination separate from the family home is a necessity. It's also a safety precaution given that said soda bottle required accessing the dark web, and for all of Darryl's chaotic tendencies he probably would prefer not to put the family address up on there.

* Jinx trying to eliminate joy in Brighton by murdering Molly seems a bit of an empty threat considering this show's very premise, but it's possible Jinx was planning on dragging Molly's ghost through the portal for the Ghost Council to condemn.

to:

* Many background ghosts seen in the Ghost World are historical figures from all walks of religious background, from UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar (Roman pagan) to UsefulNotes/ThePresidentsOfTheUnitedStates (varying shades of Christian). Scratch even implies in "Not So Honest Abe" that UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc (a Christian saint) is in the Ghost World. There's also no indication that the spiritual structure is like ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' or ''WesternAnimation/{{Soul}}'', where this is temporary until the CelestialBureaucracy gets them sorted into the proper afterlives for the former and until they're done mentoring new souls for the latter. So are all religions (including Libby's thoroughly well-represented Judaism) false and lies in this universe? Have countless atrocities been committed and people's lives ended in horrible ways in the name of gods who never existed?

* Molly's joy causes Scratch's curse to backfire, and the Ghost Council have a hearty laugh at the idea of Scratch cursing themselves. When the Council curses Molly and Scratch by banishing them into Flow of Failed Phantoms, Molly uses her joy to destroy the Flow ''and'' the Chairman, stripping them of the main enforcer of their rule. In other words, the Ghost Council have ''cursed themselves''.

*** Poster of the "historical villains in general" entry here: While people like Hitler, Mengele, Himmler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, bin Laden, Jack the Ripper, Caligula, Nero, Attila, and many, many others would thrive, what about the other side of the coin? Are people like Creator/FredRogers, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela in the Flow? Molly is still a kid, but she's eventually gonna die and end up at the Council's mercy...
