  • So we learn in "Deadly Smiles" that the Happy Fella doll is alive, sentient, and a bit of a Jerkass, however back in "Unwanted Guest", the Hatzgang stuffed Skid and Pump inside the doll's clothes while bullying them. If he objects to things as minor as offhandedly being called ugly, then why was the Happy Fella fine with being stripped nude?
    • The credits reveal that the Happy Fella doll is possessed by Dexter, who didn't die until the end of "Unwanted Guest". Thus, the doll wasn't possessed until after Dexter died.
  • How would the developers of Monday Noon Moving be able to use Skid and Pump in the game?
    • Maybe they won a competition and the prize was have your character(s) in the game.
  • Why did Bob wait so long to go after Lila again? If he was so enraged by her calling the police, why not hunt her immediately, instead of waiting a few years?
    • Bob was in prison up until the ending of "Deadly Smiles" — there could be something about him waiting a few months, but he literally couldn't do anything between then and Lila calling the police.
  • Why is it in "Tender Treats" that Kevin uses heavy quotation signs when bringing up the sugar from "Unwanted Guest"? Wasn't it almost quickly revealed that it really was sugar?
    • He may have purposely not specified to Skid and Pump that the contents of the package were sugar to increase the level of worsening of their messes, thus making them believe that it was an illegal substance that had gotten him in a big trouble.
  • At the end of "Deadly Smiles", why didn't the Happy Fella use the knife in his head to break out of the oven instead of just pounding his fists on the door?
    • Being in a doll's body (and consequently lacking pain-receptor nerves), Dexter probably forgot about it after panicking.
  • In "Tender Treats", why didn't Mayor Evermore raise the alarm of a cannibal on the loose? Especially due to the fact that Bob claims more victims every year, in the same city, during Halloween night.
    • True, he could enter people's homes, like when he teleported into Lila's, but letting everyone go out with a killer roaming around on his favorite night to take innocent lives wouldn't it is the wisest of ideas.
    • The police don't even seem to be an equally solid solution: due to the mayor's funding cut and the fact that they are the only two active policemen, John and Jack find themselves having more difficulty patrolling the city alone, when instead everything it would be easier with a team of colleagues.
  • Really nobody in the city received the news that a cannibalistic serial killer has just escaped from prison? It is impossible for all citizens not to be aware of the dangerous situation in which they find themselves, nor by watching the television nor by reading the newspaper.
  • Why haven't prison security measures increased? While it's implied that Bob escaped with the help of the cultists, it should be logical given that every year he manages to run away and kill more people than past years.
  • Why was Bob Velseb's house left intact, with all the bones and weapons still inside? Having been arrested and convicted of murder several times it is unlikely that nobody was ever sent to his house to search and collect evidence.
