- "The Lisa Card" features an imagine spot where Lisa worries about what her father will say when she tells him she's run up a $400 credit card bill. If you're a kid watching this, it's pretty scary. Lightning crashes and her father changes from jovial to demon-voiced and declares her "the worst daughter of all", accompanied by Screech, dressed as the Grim Reaper, shrieking "Lisa! Lisa! Lisa!" in such as way as to haunt nightmares.
- Even with the episode's humor and great trope namer, "Mystery Weekend" gets a mention. There is the matter of the pianist and the detective who tries to solve the pianist's suspicious death. Both die within moments of their respective introductions by being poisoned and getting shot in the back with multiple arrows. Even worse, neither are seen again for the rest of the episode. Also, there's a moment where Lisa saves Mr. Jameson from a falling ax which could have easily hit her as well.
- Screech's kidnapping in "Save That Tiger" if you really think about it. The show tries to play it for laughs, but you can imagine how he felt being ambushed by two jocks from Valley as he cries in vain for help.note Then, after their Principal orders the two boys to take "the tiger" back to Bayside, they interpreted as taking "the tiger" back. What were they planning to do to him, especially since he later admits that he escaped from Valley? This is all made worse by how his friends (save for Kelly) are more concerned about the prank war and the cheerleading competition.
- An Earthquake happens while at school and its portrayed realistically as the school is shaking and lockers are shown falling over and the students frantically try to get to a safe spot. To make things worse; Zack, Tori and Mr. Belding's wife are stuck in an Elevator with no way to get out.
