12!!Tropes Are:
13
14* ActionGirl: Wendy, thanks to her Apocalypse training. She subconsciously feels the need to hunt with a bow and arrow, and can leap off the roof.
15* CallingTheOldManOut: Dipper to his mother after [[spoiler:she accuses Wendy's [[MissingMom mother]] of being negligent]].
16* ChristmasEpisode
17* FishOutOfWater: Wendy finds the suburbs of California to be very different from the backwoods of Oregon. Much more extreme, is Wendy struggling to adapt to a normal Christmas after over a decade of Manly Dan training his kids for the Apocalypse over the holidays.
18* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lynda Pines holds some negative preconceptions of Wendy, and doesn't make a good first impression when she arrives. For the most part she does ''try'' to be polite even when things get strained, but it's always clear that she doesn't exactly approve of her kids' older friend, and eventually she loses her temper and angrily criticizes Wendy to her face. [[spoiler:She gets better after a long talk with Wendy, and realizing she went too far]].
19** JerkassHasAPoint: To be fair, the twins and Wendy were both doing dangerous stunts, one of which actually dislocated Dipper's shoulder.
20* LikeParentLikeChild: It only takes one meeting with the twins' mother to give Wendy a good idea of where Dipper inherited a lot of his anxiety and nerves from. Also, the twins' father is very cheerful and friendly, much like Mabel.
21* MamaBear: Lynda Pines.
22* NoodleIncident: Both Stan & Ford turned up for Thanksgiving. It's given no further description than being "interesting."
23* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler: Wendy's mom left the family]].
24* WhiteAndGreyMorality: A free-spirited, if reckless teenage girl, vs a neurotic but loving mother over what's best for Dipper and Mabel.
