** Then he almost ''kills'' Wordgirl, despite having stopped Dr. Two Brains from doing so when they teamed up just two episodes earlier. He was so upset about his apparent 'failure' to be good that he stops caring about what happened next, even after saying he only turned good to win her affection.

* In "Tobey Goes Good": Tobey does as the name states; he enters an invention contest ''without'' any form of cheating or destroying or other kind of evil, and claims he's turned himself around for good. Obviously he's lying in order to achieve some evil goal, right? ''Wrong''. After losing the contest to what he sees as an inferior invention, Tobey goes back to destroying with his robot, but has this to say to Wordgirl:

* A show-wide one that isn't dwelt on but is still present: Becky has all of the traits of [=WordGirl=], since she ''is'' [=WordGirl=], but no one ever gives her proper credit for them since she's just a normal girl. Is it any wonder she's so shocked to hear Tobey praising her in "By Jove, You've Wrecked My Robot"?
* Another show-wide one: Becky has to constantly sacrifice having anything resembling a life in order to fight crime as [=WordGirl=]. She even has to miss her own birthday party. Having to keep her SecretIdentity secret also causes her no end of trouble and stress. Miss Power makes note of this, but her (legitimate) point is dismissed out-of-hand in the name of the movie's Aesop. It does not help that the Narrator and Captain Huggyface will push ChronicHeroSyndrome onto Becky.

* Yet another show-wide one: no matter how long Wordgirl's been protecting Fair City, and the number of people she's saved, they have a bad habit of turning on her, especially when a villain gets involved. Even when she tries to tell them the truth, they refuse to listen to her at first.



** It hurts a lot to see [=WordGirl=] mocking Tobey, who is often somewhat of an FriendlyEnemy, and reducing him to an inability to move out of despair.

** [=WordGirl=]/Becky Botsford insults her closest friend Captain Huggyface/Bob by calling him "just her sidekick" after everything the two have been through. The fact that Bob gave up his life as the galaxy's greatest pilot to watch after and care for the alien girl just to be called "just her sidekick" is really heartbreaking, and the look on Bob's face further cements how hurt he is after hearing this. Though she later apologizes to him, this still counts as a TearJerker.

Becky immediately regrets this and tries to apologize but Bob pushes her away in anger, refusing to talk to her for the rest of part 2 and nearly all of part 3. He only comes back to Wordgirl when he hears the news that Miss Power has downed her. Although Becky apologizes after that to him, this still counts as a TearJerker.
