* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: At the end, Eustace is seen wearing Kitty's mask as he tries to fix the furnace. Since some items that look like welding tools can be seen at his feet, is he wearing it simply for practicality? Or, considering Kitty's claim that she wears it so that she doesn't have to face reality, is there something he doesn't want to face? If the latter, is he simply trying not to face up to the fact that he's not as good a repairman as he likes to claim, or is he trying to avoid facing something deeper, like his troubled relationship with his family or guilt from how he mistreats Courage?

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** When Mad Dog acts tender towards Bunny and asks if they can "be all happy like", is he just trying to manipulate her? Or is he trying to assuage his own conscience? The fact that he never actually apologizes for what he does and responds extremely violently to Bunny trying to run away points to the former.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Courage hijacking Mad Dog's car (after ''catching up to it on foot'') and driving it onto a set of train tracks [[LaserGuidedKarma just as a train was starting to cross them]]. Hopefully Mad Dog didn't survive the impact for long.

** Before that, he [[CurbStompBattle beats the hell out of 2 of his cronies]], who are just as big as Mad Dog himself[[note]]as in, 3 times Courage's size[[/note]]!

* RealismInducedHorror: The show filled with all kinds of fantastical and sci-fi threats, but Mad Dog is considered one of the scariest villains to appear -- even though (or perhaps because) there's nothing supernatural about him aside from being an anthropomorphic dog. A big part of this is due to him being a disturbingly authentic portrayal of a domestic abuser who controls his girlfriend Bunny with threats and acts of violence while isolating her from people who could help her and using emotional manipulation to his advantage.

* OlderThanTheyThink: No, ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' was ''not'' the first Creator/CartoonNetwork show to feature a heavily implied lesbian relationship (or any kind of same-sex relationship, if you take ''Cow and Chicken'' and ''Time Squad'' into account). It was the first one to feature an explicit one between major recurring characters, but Bunny and Kitty are really only a step behind explicit.
