* MakeoverFail: In "A Change of Heart", Minx makes excessive attempts to be nice to people. One of her ideas is to "treat" Jerrica to a makeover, having her basically manhandled and physically forced into it. The result is silly-looking but easily reversible (notably she is given garish makeup and a partial ponytail tied so as to stick up straight). The look is included in that episode's song "Too Much".

** The main plot of the "Hollywood Jem" two-parter has Jem being nominated for an Oscar. She's the protagonist so she has to win, right? Nope. The award goes to an older, more experienced actress instead. Jem has no formal training in acting; she's a singer and businesswoman before anything else.
** The episode "The Fan" has an [[LoonyFan obsessive fan desperate to find out Jem's real identity]] teaming up with the Misfits and leads to Jem going through a harrowing experience where she nearly loses her mind, getting mildly injured and the fan himself being double-crossed by the band due to never learning the truth. Upon being rescued by her and the Holograms, in spite of Jem's kind and generous nature, the guy's regret at his indirect role of her troubles and giving her a sincere apology, she admits that she doesn't forgive him and even his ignorance of what the rival band was planning to do doesn't diminish his responsibility (although he is still invited to their concert).
** Clash is a good example of this trope. In spite of all of the trickery and sabotage that she does for the Misfits and occasionally hanging out with them, doesn't mean that they want her in the band of are even friends with her (which is kind of justified because unlike her rival/cousin Video, who's a successful director who works on many Jem and the Holograms projects, she can't sing or play an instrument[[note]]as those "cymbals" on her wrists are just for show[[/note]] and is little more than a desperate groupie).
** In "Father's Day", Pizzazz is upset that her father will be away on business instead of spending father's day with her. On the day itself, Kimber, still grieving for her own deceased father, ends up bonding with Mr. Gabor and he flies her and the rest of the Holograms on his own private jet to their concert. The sight on this infuriates Pizzazz and causes her to lash out at the both of them. During the performance of the Holograms' song dedicated to fathers, while Mr. Gabor is hopeful for a happy reunion with his daughter, she just storms off in seething anger.
** At the end of "Battle of the Bands", [[SoreLoser Eric]] slaps Jerrica in the face after losing control of Starlight Music and Rio punches him in the face so hard, it knocks him on his behind and is then seen rubbing his now-sore hand. Even with the adrenaline he had by punching him with that much force, the human jaw is one of the strongest bones in the body and hitting it is bound to hurt (if not actually ''break'') one's hand.
