** The brief argument Ted and Barb have about Lucy "pawning off" her kid. Despite knowing she put him up for adoption, Barb starts chastising him for badmouthing who, to her, was great friend, but Ted doesn't back down.

* ValuesDissonance: Ted taming Demon by ''biting him on the ear'', a move suggested by several of the villagers. For some, this might be seen as straight up animal abuse. Yet it's presented as the only practical means by which to get him to behave -- until Thunder Jack admits that everyone was just trolling him.
