* AlwaysLate: In "Theodore in the Middle", George makes an official complaint to the Dispatcher that Emily is always late to the morning work meeting, bringing up that her lateness delays the meeting and causes delays for the visiting ships who needs the tugboats' help. This results in Emily getting a red mark in the Great Tugboat Book and feud between her and George that lasts for the whole episode.

* DangerouslyLoadedCargo: In "Theodore and the Unsafe Ship", Theodore is tasked with docking Cabot, a scruffy and rough cargo ship who is very careless with his cargo. When Theodore inspects Cabot's deck, Cabot's cargo looks as if it's about to fall off. Theodore's job is to make sure that ships are safe before bringing them in, and the closer Theodore looked, the less safe Cabot seemed. Cabot's cargo falls off his deck and Theodore has to collect it to prevent any possible collision with other boats.

His name literally means "nonsense," he speaks in a forcedly excited voice in an attempt to hype up nearly everything that he says, he unconvincingly presents mundane objects as fantastical ones to try and earn Hank's trust, and for whatever reason, he wants to meet up with Hank alone without him ever telling anyone of his whereabouts. Hank slowly starts to pick up on these red flags, and against Malarkey's wishes, he confides in Theodore and the Dispatcher about the suspicious behavior.

Obviously, Malarkey is meant to be hated, and is defeated at the end of the episode.
