YMMV / An Unpleasant Surprise

Go To

YMMV tropes for An Unpleasant Surprise:

  • Catharsis Factor: Many readers were as pleased as Sharon when they heard the Harrises' screams of terror when Scratch paid them a visit.
  • Heartwarming Moments:
    • Realizing that he cannot cheer up Molly himself, Scratch goes to find Libby and explains what happened with Molly and Ashley so she can help his friend. He then flies all the way to Ohio, even admitting that's outside his ghostly jurisdiction, to scare the living daylights out of the Harrises for daring to make his best friend cry.
    • Sharon has no problems with Molly dating Libby, a girl, noting at the end that their relationship was one of the best things that ever happened to her daughter, and to hell with anyone who thought otherwise, like the Harrises. There's no reason to believe Pete McGee, her father, wouldn't feel the same way.
  • Tear Jerker: Molly's reunion with an old friend, Ashley Harris, from Dayton ends sour once she disapproves of her relationship with Libby. The two end up fighting over it until Molly finally gives up on her, ending their friendship. Molly ends up heartbroken over it once the reality of it sinks in. Scratch only makes it worse by asking why she's letting it get to her. Molly gives a saddened "she was my friend" before finally bursting out in tears.
