16	----
17	!!"Night of the Weremole" features examples of the following tropes:
18
19	* HollywoodHeartAttack: Courage clutches his chest and collapses during the WildTake when he finds a crazed Muriel eating from his dog dish. An ambulance takes him across Nowhere, and we next see him in Dr. Vindaloo's office attached to an ECG.
20	-->'''Dr. Vindaloo:''' [[DeadlyEuphemism You almost bought it, boy!]] What is up with that?
21	** Courage then grabs Dr. Vindaloo and runs off back to his house. He snaps the leads to the ECG, creating a {{flatline}} on the monitor.
22	* {{Wormsign}}: The Weremole leaves these in its wake when it's hunting, first when it eats the rabbit Muriel was trying to feed, and later when it tries to eat Courage, who's disguised as a rabbit so he can get one of the Weremole's hairs and cure Muriel's transformation.
23
24	----
25	!!"Mother's Day" features examples of the following tropes:
26
27	* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Ma Bagge gives the box of chocolates from Eustace to Courage and he eats nearly the entire box. Chocolate is poisonous to dogs, but the only ill symptom Courage gets is a stomach ache.
28	* BreatherEpisode: Unlike most episodes of the show, where Courage goes up against a terrifying supernatural monster of some kind, this episode is unique in that it simply consists of Eustace dragging Courage along to visit his mother, who's actually ''nice'' to Courage with no ulterior motives, during Mother's Day; nothing strange or supernatural happens during it.
29	* CommonalityConnection: Ironically, Eustace and his mother bond over the one thing they don't like about themselves: They're both bald.
30	* DotingGrandparent: Ma is something of this sort in this episode, loving Courage a lot.
31	* OutOfFocus: Muriel is the one who falls into this trope, only appearing at the beginning and end.
32	* PetTheDog: When his mother is desperate about her hair loss, Eustace tries to comfort her and tells her that she looks good to him no matter what.
