* HollywoodHeartAttack: Courage clutches his chest and collapses during the WildTake when he finds a crazed Muriel eating from his dog dish. An ambulance takes him across Nowhere, and we next see him in Dr. Vindaloo's office attached to an ECG.

* {{Wormsign}}: The Weremole leaves these in its wake when it's hunting, first when it eats the rabbit Muriel was trying to feed, and later when it tries to eat Courage, who's disguised as a rabbit so he can get one of the Weremole's hairs and cure Muriel's transformation.

!!"Mother's Day" features examples of the following tropes:



* BaldOfEvil: Or at the very least, "Bald of Abusive Parent".
* BreatherEpisode: "Mother's Day" is unique since nothing strange or supernatural happens in the episode.
* CommonalityConnection: Ironically, Eustace and his mother bond over the one thing they don't like about themselves: they're both bald.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: It's more like [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas "Even Jerks love their Mothers"]]. Eustace may be mean-spirited, but even he's willing to please (or at least gain the approval) of his own mother, despite that she shows little affection to him. His mother also qualifiesfor this. Despite being abusive towards her son and generally unpleasant, she loves him deep down.

* OutOfFocus: It’s Muriel who falls in this trope rather than Eustace in Mother’s Day. Considering she hates Ma, this makes sense.
* VisualPun: Mother Bagge chastises her son by saying that he could never hope to fill his father's shoes. Cut to a still of a gargantuan pair of shoes, implied to be the elder Mr. Bagge's.

* BreatherEpisode: "Mother's Day" Unlike most episodes of the show, where Courage goes up against a terrifying supernatural monster of some kind, this episode is unique since in that it simply consists of Eustace dragging Courage along to visit his mother, who's actually ''nice'' to Courage with no ulterior motives, during Mother's Day; nothing strange or supernatural happens in the episode.
