2
3	!!Tropes:
4
5	* BigDamnHeroes: [=NotEnrique=] saves Jim from being sucked into one Morgana's portals by knocking her out with a frying pan.
6	* BadDate: Due to Toby's unintentional psyching out, Jim acts out nervously throughout the whole thing, accidentally pulling out Claire's seat from under her, devolving into GratuitousSpanish at random intervals, etc.
7	* ContinuityNod: "Claire, if you're seeing this, [[Recap/TrollhuntersS1E8AdventuresInTrollsitting I did not mess up your house again]]."
8	* DemonicPossession: Claire becomes possessed halfway through the DoubleDate by Morgana, taking the chance to try and kill Jim at Claire's house.
9	* TheDoorSlamsYou: Strickler gets a rather comical one when he tries entering the Lake household to apologize to Barbara.
10	* EnemyRisingBehind: In an almost ''Film/{{Scream}}''-like moment of lamp shading, Jim is watching a SlasherMovie where he is pleading to the protagonist to look behind them while a Morgana-possessed Claire conjured a portal behind him with the attempt of spearing him through the back.
11	* EpicFail: The moment Morgana reveals herself of possessing Claire becomes this as Jim states that he has never heard of her.
12	-->'''Morgana''': I am Morgana!
13	-->'''Jim''': Who?
14	-->'''Morgana''': The Eldritch Queen, Baba Yaga, The Pale Lady... ugh! I have many names!
15	-->'''Jim''': Sorry, still drawing a blank.
16	* EvilDetectingDog: A stray cat hisses at Morgana/Claire's general direction. [[TheDogBitesBack She hisses right back]].
17	* {{Expy}}: The footage that [=NotEnrique=] took of Claire's supernatural behavior is similar to the [[FoundFootageFilms found-footage]] horror film ''Film/ParanormalActivity''.
18	* GroinAttack:
19	--> '''Toby''': Rule three, rule three!\
20	'''Jim''': Huh? ''[instinctively kicks Toby in the gronk-nuks]''\
21	'''Toby''': The ''other'' rule three.
22	* HorrorHunger: Morgana (in Claire's body) devours her dinner like a rabid wolf face-first.
23	* LiarRevealed: When Gunmar returns from his meeting with Morgana, he outs Dictatious for the fraud he really is. It is only through [=AAARRRGGHH!!!=] blowing his own cover to save him that he even survived.
24	* TheManInTheMirrorTalksBack: To creepy effect, Claire's reflection starts talking back to her, Morgana using it as a means of communicating with her.
25	* NobodyPoops: Toby claims that girls go to the bathroom together when they are conspiring to dumping their dates.
26	--> '''Toby:''' Girls don't pee, they conspire! They'll talk about us and that's when things will go south.
27	* OutOfCharacterAlert: Jim briefly becomes suspicious when Claire calls the Skathe-Hrün by its actual name, rather than her "shadow staff."
28	* RejectedApology: Strickler goes to Barbara to apologize for his "absence". She slams the door in his face and turns down his apology.
29	* SaveTheVillain: [=AAARRRGGHH!!!=] saves Dictatious, at the cost of getting caught himself, because he says Blinky needs to know what Dictatious knows about the Endless Night.
30	* SlasherSmile: Claire (under possession) gives a rather unnerving one throughout their date. Toby chocks it up to Claire flirting and that Jim should not worry.
31	* TakeThat: [=NotEnrique=] observing the footage of sleeping/possessed Claire sounds like a cheap direct to video sequel is a rather naked TakeThat at the (usually considered inferior) sequels and spin-offs to Film/ParanormalActivity.
32	* VerbalTic: It is revealed that Jim's GratuitousSpanish is this, especially if Claire is there.
33	* VillainBall: Morgana grabs it by openly admitting to Claire that she's possessing Claire's body to kill the Trollhunter, and then knocking out [=NotEnrique=]. She could have just spied on the date and studied Jim's weaknesses, with neither of them the wiser. It turns out Jim survives the attempt on his life, and in the next episode the Trollhunters succeed in expelling Morgana from Claire's body.
34	* VoicesAreMental: Claire's voice changes while she is possessed by Morgana, who tries to {{Handwave}} it by saying her cold has returned.
35	* WhoAreYou: When Morgana tells Jim who she is in a dramatic fashion, Jim responds with a resounding "who?" She then tries listing her various other names, only to get a pillow to the face.
36	* WillfullyWeak: Jim attacks Morgana with pillows because he does not want to hurt Claire.
37	--> '''Claire:''' I am your doo-- [''Has a pillow thrown at her.''] Did you just hit me with a-- [''Is hit with another.''] pillow?\
38	'''Jim:''' I'm not gonna hurt Claire.
