* WickedStepfather: Gar remains firmly convinced that Steve don't-call-me-Mento Dayton was this for him. Reportedly a bullying StageMom who wanted to capitalize on Gar's acting career and a DirtyCoward who left the rest of the Doom Patrol (including Rita, Gar's adoptive mother) to their deaths... but so far, we haven't actually seen any of this firsthand. He and Gar don't make any secret of their dislike for each other.

*** One particular oddity that can't be easily explained by the [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane mundane]]: During the scene with all the dead heroes on the starship, we see Wally's death scene played right down to his last words before 'Wally' vanishes. But Gar couldn't know that. The only people who witnessed that were Barry and Bart (and Wally, obviously). Gar was at the Arctic, but he only arrived near the very end with the other heroes and wasn't inside the speed vortex to witness Wally's 'ceasing'. So his mind alone wouldn't be able to recreate that scene.

** The pair of Goode Goggles Beast Boy uses was revealed by Queen Perdita to have been sent to her room by an anonymous benefactor, implied to be either The Light or Granny Goodness, but who was their target? Beast Boy, [[BatmanGambit knowing he'd be the type of person who would want to try it out]], so they could have a bargaining chip to use against the heroes? Or Perdita, in order to activate a potential metagene, brainwash her and take control of the Vlatavan throne?

* BreatherEpisode:BreatherEpisode: Somewhat. While it isn't nearly as heavy on the action, and has long stretches of visually comedic sequences due to taking place in Gar's mind, it's still heavily focused on Beast Boy's long string of emotional traumas and is thematically a pretty dark episode.

* DoingInTheScientist: An InvokedTrope by the monkey, who claims to be a god that chose to empower Beast Boy, about the true origins of his powers by pointing out that his abilities shouldn't function as they do. After all, Martians are overall shapeshifters, so why is it he can only become animals? Or how is it he can take forms much larger than himself if conservation of mass is in effect? It would take something more than pure science for his powers to function.
