** In "No Mo' Money", Damey is scammed out of his family's grocery money and looks for work to get it back, he helps an old lady carry her heavy groceries up several flights of stairs and all she gives him is a dime. Then after she leaves the room, he spots a $5 bill poking out of her purse (exactly the amount he needs) and the old lady has fallen over. He's briefly tempted to steal it while she's incapacitated, but instead he helps the old lady up and ends up being given the $5 bill anyway when he takes a job walking her dogs.

** In "Demon of The Dozens", Damey finds out school bully Byron is the guy in the chicken suit outside of the chicken restaurant and prepares to use the humiliating secret as ammo against him in their insult battle if Byron resorts to mocking his foot, but in the end he decides to be the better person and request a draw, telling Byron he'll keep his secret. But when Byron proceeds to attack Damey and silence the one kid who knows his secret, he ends up exposing himself when the chicken suit falls out of his bag in the scuffle.
