13	!!Now loading tropes
14	* BedsheetGhost: Numbuh 4 uses one as a decoy to infiltrate Stickybeard’s ship. Dumb John thinks it’s a real ghost and panics, causing Stickybeard to slap him in the face with his candy cane hook and tell him “[[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan get a hold of yourself, matey!]]”
15	* TheBet: Numbuh 4 bets the rest of the team that he'll get more candy than any of them. Thanks to stealing Stickybeard's ship, he succeeds.
16	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Upon getting dropped into Stickybeard’s PooledFunds of candy, Numbuh 4 is annoyed at the fact that he’ll never be able to find his trick-or-treat bag (which has a singular piece of butterscotch in it).
17	-->'''Numbuh 4:''' Aw, man! I’m never gonna win the bet at this rate!
18	* CountingToPotato: Numbuh 4 claims trick-or-treating is as easy as “one, two, six.”
19	* ADayInTheLimeLight: This episode focuses mostly on Numbuh 4, with the rest of the team only making brief appearances.
20	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Numbuh 4 realizes he left Stickybeard’s ship with only one piece of candy, when he could’ve used the rest of it to win the bet.
21	-->'''Numbuh 4:''' All I have to do is get a huge bunch of candy before the others…finish their…trick…or treating…? Oh, crud!
22	* FireballEyeballs: Dumb John’s eyes turn into flames when he yells at Numbuh 4 that he doesn’t care what the captain said because Stickybeard hurt his feelings.
23	* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Refusing to wear a costume to go trick-or-treating, Numbuh 4 just wears a cardboard sign around his neck that says “gimEE” with the [[RandomlyReversedLetters E’s written backwards]].
24	** Dumb John Silver is also very excited to go as a pirate for Halloween, even though he already is one.
25	* FullMoonSilhouette: As Stickybeard’s ship goes flying off the edge of a cliff, it soars past the Halloween full moon.
26	* GrossUpCloseUp: On Stickybeard’s drooling mouth filled with rotten teeth as he licks his lips.
27	* HalloweenEpisode: Numbuh 4 spends Halloween trying to prove that he’s the best trick-or-treater on the team.
28	* HeroesGoneFishing: While Numbuh 4 spends the night dealing Sticky Beard and his crew, the rest of Sector V, including Numbuh 1, spends the night trick or treating.
29	* IGotARock: In a scene showing a bunch of chattering trick-or-treaters, one of them can be heard saying this verbatim.
30	* ImpendingDoomPOV: We see from Numbuh 1’s perspective as he hunts down Numbuh 4 in his cyborg costume.
31	* JoinUsDrone: Numbuhs 1 and 5 prank Numbuh 4 in their cyborg and zombie costumes respectively, droning at him to join them.
32	* LessEmbarrassingTerm: After Numbuh 3 gives him a flower headband to wear trick-or-treating, Numbuh 5 calls Numbuh 4 “pretty boy.” Numbuh 4 makes sure to correct her that he’s not pretty, he’s ''handsome''.
33	* NoPeripheralVision: Numbuh 4 somehow doesn’t catch Chewy and Gooey sneaking up right next to him to take back control of their ship.
34	* NotSoAboveItAll: Numbuh 1 acts like a regular kid in this episode, such as going trick or treating, and even plays a joke on Numbuh 4 with the others in the beginning of the episode.
35	* RageBreakingPoint: Dumb John Silver, after being mistreated by Captain Stickybeard one too many times, finally has enough and quits.
36	* RightBehindMe: Numbuh 4 is ranting about how Halloween is for “stupid babies who like dressing up like girly butterflies.” It’s then revealed that Numbuh 3 is standing behind him wearing the exact outfit he was describing; looking, rightfully, annoyed.
37	* ScaredOfWhatsBehindYou: Chewy and Gooey jump ship and Numbuh 4 thinks it’s because he intimidated them, but really it’s because they see that the ship’s about to go off a cliff.
38	* ShoutOut: Numbuh 1's line, "You will be joinified", is a reference to the line "You will be assimilated", said by the Borg from ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Star Trek]]''. Numbuh 1 is also dressed up like a Borg.
39	* SmartBall: Numbuh Four holds both the IdiotBall and the Smart Ball in the same episode. First, after Stickybeard steals his candy bag (which holds only one butterscotch), he breaks onto the pirate's ship, steals it back, and runs off, not realizing until he gets away that he just ignored an entire treasure trove of candy while looking for that one butterscotch. However, his Smart Ball moment more than makes up for this. First, Numbuh Four decoys the pirates with a bag that seems to be loaded with candy (but in actuality, is loaded with bricks) just waiting for Stickybeard to try and steal it from him. By the time Stickybeard and his pirates realize that the heavy bag they planned on dragging back to their ship did NOT have any candy at all, Numbuh Four steals the whole ship.
40	* TongueOutInsult: Numbuh 4 blows a raspberry at Stickybeard to taunt him as he’s stealing his ship.
41	* TooOldToTrickOrTreat: Numbuh 4 thinks he’s too mature for trick-or-treating:
