* BoundAndGagged: Osmeralda ends up being tied up by William Ocean when he conjures up seaweed. This leaves her unable to play her flute, forcing Omar to play it.
* CallBack: Osmeralda is seen with her flute for the first time since [[Recap/OddSquadS3E17OswaldInTheMachineTheBTeam "The B Team"]] (or, disregarding flashbacks, [[Recap/OddSquadS3E2OddBeginningsPartTwo "Odd Beginnings: Part 2"]]).
** Osmeralda and Omar use their shields to protect themselves from William Ocean's fish attack, like in [[Recap/OddSquadS3E20EndOfTheRoad "End of the Road"]].
* CaughtOnTape: Omar has his tape recorder running for the entirety of the adventure and stores it in his {{Hammerspace}} spine, meaning that he also has the notes that William Ocean plays recorded. This enables him and Osmeralda to escape each forcefield he and his minions put up.
* ChekhovsGun: Omar's tape recorder ends up helping him and Osmeralda figure out the patterns to deactivate each forcefield.
** Osmeralda's [[SignatureInstrument flute]] is also a key element in deactivating the forcefields.

* DefectorFromDecadence: Seahorse Tanya defects from William Ocean's team and helps out Omar and Osmeralda because she hates the fact that he makes her wear a costume, and she's fed up with his bossy attitude.

* DeflectorShields: A rare example in which William Ocean uses these to trap Omar and Osmeralda, not protect them.

* InstantCostumeChange: Osmeralda manages to get her scuba-diving outfit on within a mere second. However, Omar tells her that there's no need, as the van can go underwater.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Omar keeps explaining that he doesn't remember saying "I'm flabbergasted". While it's meant to be PlayedForLaughs as to Orla being right about him saying it a lot, it does have some merit considering that we never hear him say it when he gets trapped inside the forcefields, and him saying "I'm flabbergasted" is simply a pre-recorded soundbyte added in post. When Osmeralda attempts to lighten the mood with some comedy by remarking how she's...something and letting him fill in the "something", he doesn't even guess "flabbergasted" right off the bat, and William Ocean chimes in with the word.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Since Osmeralda wasn't present during the events of [[Recap/OddSquadS3E20EndOfTheRoad "End of the Road"]], Omar recaps what happened with William Ocean and how he and the rest of the Mobile Unit set him free following The Shadow sending him to attack them, which in turn means that he still has his odd powers.
* LookBehindYou: Omar does this with William Ocean and his henchmen, saying that there's a fish out of water. As soon as they look away, he and Osmeralda book it along with Seahorse Tanya.

* SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat: Omar doesn't know how to play the flute. Osmeralda says that he's seen her play it a million times before and encourages him to take a crack at it. He does, and he manages to play it perfectly. May be justified by the fact that the sounds of the flute are, quite obviously, fake -- meaning that Jayce Alexander isn't actually playing the flute, it's just sound effects.

* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: Seahorse Tanya repeatedly tells Osmeralda and Omar to call her Tanya. William Ocean chastises her for it.

* WaterIsAir: Despite being trapped in forcefields made of water, Omar and Osmeralda can still breathe and walk as though they're on land. When Omar attempts to escape the first forcefield by running into it, he fails, and gets knocked back as though it's made out of hard water.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Orla, Osmeralda and the Little O head into the latter's dream, she points out the marshmallows made out of clouds, the sun made out of a kiwi, and purple skis with boots that don't look to be made out of any edible food.

* BeautifulDreamer: The Mobile Unit ends up watching Little O sleep on more than one occasion. Oswald and Omar are a sort of extreme example, as they remain in the waking world while Orla and Osmeralda head into the Little O's dreams, and can only watch her sleep and wait for their partners to return.

* DreamEmergencyExit: When the Dream Weaver is captured, Little O wonders how she, Osmeralda and Orla are going to exit from her dream. She ends up using Orla's cymbals, which the Mobile Unit agent had previously used to wake her boss up twice.
* DreamEpisode: The episode revolves around Orla and Osmeralda entering the Little O's dreams in order to stop the Dream Weaver and her machine.
* DreamRealityCheck: Orla and Osmeralda attempt to invoke this trope with the Little O. They remind her that nothing in her dreams nor her nightmares are real. She counters by saying that the odd stuff she sees in her dreams, when they become nightmares, feel real. There is some merit to that -- the odd stuff that happens in Little O's dreams and nightmares could potentially happen in the real world of the show and be just as life-threatening and dangerous, so her being scared is very much justified. [[note]]That, and the fact that she is a little kid (appearing to be around Osmeralda's age, if not a year or two younger), who often don't understand that the things in their dreams and nightmares aren't real. To say nothing of the fact that it's all but said she has the ability to lucid-dream.[[/note]] However, Orla and Osmeralda only have three tries to stop the Dream Weaver, and because of it, they attempt to convince the Little O that she's dreaming and she has control over it. This is what enables her to stop the villainess.
* DreamWalker: Osmeralda and Orla enter the Little O's dreams in order to stop her from having nightmares by wearing helmets that are activated by O'Becca when she turns a dial on a cube-shaped device. However, the device only works thrice.

* EvilGenius: The Dream Weaver is one of the smartest villains on the series, and it ''shows.'' Not only has she managed to build a machine to give others bad dreams that's as tall as her, she managed to build a compact version of it in the form of a remote which accomplishes the same thing. She also continuously stays one step ahead of the Little O, Osmeralda and Orla and is not above scaring and taunting the former as she seeps into her good dreams and taints them. The only stupid thing she does is inadvertently give the trio clues as to where her machine is hidden.

--> '''Osmeralda:''' Maybe I should try.

* NoWaterProofingInTheFuture: Subverted when the Dream Weaver states that she would never hide her Bad Dream Machine on a beach and Osmeralda thinks it's because the water would short it out and destroy it, only for the villainess to tell her that the machine works fine around water. Instead, it's ''sunlight'' that would destroy it.

* RevealShot: The episode opens up with the Mobile Unit staring at something offscreen, with Omar trying to confirm if the Little O called them and Osmeralda saying that she did and that it was important. Then Oswald asks why the Little O is sleeping, and the camera cuts to the boss in question, asleep in her chair.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Orpita may be the highest-ranking person in the organization (or at least the second-highest, behind only Oprah), but she's also just a kid who, like most other kids her age, are terrified of nightmares, and has a child-like side to her personality to boot. For these reasons, it's perfectly justifiable that she would be afraid of what the Dream Weaver is doing to her nightmares and would attempt to wake herself up (which may be a likely factor as to why she hasn't been able to find the villainess nor her machine). Luckily, she has Orla (a girl much older than her) and Osmeralda (a girl around the same age, but more mature) to help her understand that the things she sees in her nightmares aren't real and that she can take control of her dreams.

* DreamEmergencyExit: When the Dream Weaver is captured, Little O wonders how she, Osmeralda and Orla can exit from her dream. She ends up using Orla's cymbals, which the Mobile Unit agent had previously used to wake her boss up twice.

The only stupid thing she does is give the trio clues as to where her machine is hidden.

* {{Sleepyhead}}: The Little O becomes this as a result of being sleep-deprived. She can fall asleep in mere ''seconds'', which is a huge difference in comparison to what would normally take people about 10-20 minutes.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The Little O has an intense fear of spiders.

** Osmeralda and Omar use their shields to protect themselves from William Ocean's fish attack, like in [[[[Recap/OddSquadS3E20EndOfTheRoad "End of the Road"]].

* CatapultNightmare: Every time the Dream Weaver alters Little O's dreams, she becomes fearful and wills herself awake, bolting upright in bed.

* DreamWalker: Osmeralda and Orla enter the Little O's dreams in order to stop her from having nightmares.
* DreamWeaver: The name of the primary antagonist of the episode, who has a "Bad Dream Machine" that allows her (and the machine itself) to enter the dreams of someone and turn them into nightmares. She also has a remote handy that has all the functions of the machine in compact form. The affected person can reverse the effects of the machine by thinking of good dreams and overriding the nightmare.

* IdiotBall: The Little O holds it briefly when she can't grasp how the Dream Weaver is going to attack her, even though it's clearly spelled out for her.

'''''H2 Oh No'''''

* ApocalypseHow: William Ocean's goal is to flood the entirety of Earth.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: In "[[Recap/OddSquadS3E19SixteenAndAHalfBlocksFollowTheLeader Follow the Leader]]" and "[[Recap/OddSquadS3E20EndOfTheRoad End of the Road]]", William Ocean was portrayed as a villain who had a conch shell which, when blown into, could summon small fish to attack his enemies. This episode shows that he can do far more than control fish, and actually can [[MakingASplash control water and use it to attack]]. He does this to cover the entire planet in it.

* DreamWalker: The Main 4 become these in order to stop Little O from having nightmares.
* NightmareWeaver: The name of the primary antagonist for this episode is named the Dream Weaver, who has one ability. Guess what it is.
