Samurai Girl
  • Wendy's rush to get to work on time in the beginning and being delayed, first by bumping into someone and apologizing, keeping her hair down when a crate she's standing on suddenly blows upward, trying to cross a street where the light just turned red and nearly getting run over, one of her heels getting caught in a manhole cover and causing her to trip, which results in her missing her bus. By the time she reaches work, she's 4 minutes late.
  • When Love-P appears, Vijay (who was being held hostage by John Doe) somehow escapes from his captor without him noticing to hide behind a telephone pole. It takes a second for John Doe to even realize his hostage is gone.

Take Back Five

  • High Card starts of the mission laying out in detail how they plan to obtain the episode's Card, which naturally leads them to end up on the recieving end of the Unspoken Plan Guarantee.
  • Finn's nausea.
  • The bidding war between Norman and Leo.
  • At the end of the episode, Norman throws a tantrum over being and outmaneuvered by the Klondikes and demands Blist to immediately call the press for an interview so that King can at least brag about outbidding the Pinochle heir. He is then informed by Brandy that the reason why Blist is absent is because he is on paid leave, leading him to realize that Blist is most likely attending parent's day at his kid's school. Hearing that, Norman drops the matter and instead wows to be more successful next time. Also a moment of awesome for Norman for being a Benevolent Boss.

Heat Up

  • When Mr. Apple visits the Pinochle dealership, he interrogates Chris on his relationship with Finn since he saw them holding hands. When Chris tries to tell him that he's his mentor in the dealership, it sets Mr. Apple off that he leaves the dealership since he didn't get a straight answer.

Finn

  • The legendarily utilitarian Theodore decides that Chris' punishment for using a forbidden X-Hand is to be re-hired... AFTER Finn is re-hired. Everyone's reactions to Chris now being at the bottom of the High Card totem pole are beautifully hilarious.

Once Upon a Time

  • Ban tries to be a ladies' man and help a woman out of her predicament with land ownership issues. She dodges the question, which pisses Ban off.

Look at Me

Prisoners

  • Bernard cassually revealing that he keeps a block of C-4 in his shoe's heel, which he uses to enable High Card to flee from their cell. He even downplays the audacity of it as a gentleman's little trick.

Lala Valdenklein

  • There is something amusingly appropiate about the revelation that the wealthy, car-selling Pinochle family that was in charge of maintaining control over the Cards on the behalf of the royal family are the descendants of the First King's coachman.

High Card -♢9 No Mercy

  • In chapter 7, Brandy Blumenthal has to directly criticize her boss Noman Kingstat in his face because he is about to reveal all the details about her Card's powers to their adversaries simply because of his lack of filter.
