-->'''Joe''': This guy kept farting.\\

* Joe is quite excited that their plan to steal the Core involves heading to the roof and escaping in a helicopter, saying it's gonna be the greatest heist ever. But then Chet and Belinda provide additional intel indicating that the Core is actually in a basement lab instead of the 13th floor, so Drew adjusts the plan to have them escape out the parking garage instead. Joe is less than enthused:

* The Hardy Boys get into the Sparewell parking lot by hiding in the trunk of Drew's company car. Joe doesn't particularly enjoy the experience.
-->'''Joe''': This guy kept farting.\\
'''Frank''': I didn't ''keep'' farting....

* Driscoll, who has so far comes across as a ByTheBookCop who's an obstacle, offers to let Belinda and Chet look through the files he's compiled on Olivia. Chet is surprised by this, prompting Driscoll to complain that ''everyone else'' is already playing it "fast and loose" with this investigation, so why can't he? Then Chet and Belinda actually see just how many files are on his desk, and are far less enthused.

** Phil being TheThingThatWouldNotLeave after helping Joe lie, even threatening to tell Aunt Trudy, until he fills him in on what he and Biff discovered. Once Joe's reluctantly done so and Phil starts his MotorMouth gushing about it, Joe mutters "This is why I don't tell you things." He then asks why Phil's sticking around, and he latter informs him that "that uniform was a borrow, not a keep," so Joe starts changing on the spot to give it back to him.

* Jessie comes by to deliver a message to the Hardy home:
** Trudy tells her she's welcome to sit, joking that she looks like she's responding to a noise complaint because of how stiff and official she's standing. Jessie awkwardly shuffles her hands before self-consciously sticking them in her pockets and defends it with, "I'm working."
** After the boys get back from the factory and immediately head upstairs after Jessie gives them her message:

'''Jessie''': Trudy, she does patrols in the house in the middle of the night in case of burglars.

'''Jessie''': I'll have you on your way shortly.\\

''(Jessie rolls her eyes as she walks away)''

* George escapes through the trap door in his office, which leads to the mines, but is almost immediately found by Jessie, who asks what he's doing there at a crime scene. He once again proves to be an incredibly BadLiar with a shallow impression of the Hardy Boys' detective skills:

'''Jessie''': ''({{Beat}} as she stares at him like, "Really?")'' You're coming with me. Now.

'''Joe''': You're preaching to the choir, Frank! He's tried to kill me several times!
** And this:
--->'''Frank''': Joe, how long have I been in here?\\

'''Joe''': I have my main one in case one gets lost, in case one gets stolen, and in case one gets ruined-- ''(looks up to see everyone looking at him like "Seriously?")'' Guys, it's a treasure hunt, we should all have maps. ''(To JB)'' Do you even have a map?\\

* Driscoll, who has so far comes across as a ByTheBookCop who's a big an obstacle, offers to let Belinda and Chet look through the files he's compiled on Olivia. Chet is surprised by this, prompting Driscoll to complain that ''everyone else'' is already playing it "fast and loose" with this investigation, so why can't he? Then Chet and Belinda actually see just how many files are on his desk, and are far less enthused.

* Frank has a vision showing him that Angela set a trap for Joe and JB that will get all three of them captured, and stops JB from continuing the plan by warning him it's a trap:

* Joe's not pleased about JB stealing the relic from him, while Frank clearly feels like the OnlySaneMan in this situation:

* Phil gets caught by Angela in Gloria Estabrook's study and tries to bluff his way out of the situation. He actually starts off strong enough by telling Angela (quite correctly) that she's trespassing...but then takes it a little too far by [[BlatantLies claiming to be Gloria's great-nephew]] Charles Estabrook '''V''', and then DiggingHimselfDeeper by claiming he's related to Gloria "on the mother's side", making the claim even more ludicrous. Not only is Angela not impressed, she then, completely deadpan, proceeds to reveal that she knows Phil's name, address, and family members, down to the name and breed of his dog, and sarcastically turns his faux-eloquent speech back on him:

* Callie invites Frank to come over to her house that evening to [[DoubleEntendre study]]. Frank tells her he has to work, but she can come study at Wilt's while he's there if she wants. She [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar clarifies that's not exactly what she had in mind]] before giving him a quick kiss and heading to class, leaving Frank ''very'' curious about what she meant.

** Phil spends the whole car ride gushing to Joe about Sea Cadet stuff, who shows minimal interest, and then makes up the lamest excuse ever for why he suddenly can't go: [[INeedToGoIronMyDog he has a book on hold on the library that he has to pick up before they fine him]].

* In the penultimate episode, Aunt Trudy comes to check on Joe, who in the previous episode fell down into a mine and could have died. He assures her he's still okay...like he was when she checked five minutes ago. She tells him she's going to take a shower, but assures him that he can call if he needs her, all while Joe is trying to be polite and humor her despite his obvious exasperation. And after she leaves:

** And after Laura knocks her out successfully later:
--->'''Laura''': You boys were right. She really ''does'' love to hear herself talk.

* The Hardys and Drew get stuck in the elevator. They have different ideas for how to get it moving again, starting with Joe repeatedly jumping up and down because "sometimes that gets it moving again."

'''Joe''': We don't even need his whole hand. \\

'''Frank''': ''(To Callie)''' Then what?\\

'''Joe''': We don't even need his whole hand. \\

-->'''Chet''': I don't care what anyone says. We're not chopping off his hand.\\
'''Joe''': Relax, okay? We're ''probably'' not gonna do that-- \\
'''Chet''': Joe, I am so serious. This is the hill that I die on. We're not chopping off his hand.\\
'''Joe''': We don't even need his whole hand.\\
'''Chet''': Okay. No, no.\\

'''Joe''': Relax, okay? We're ''probably'' not gonna do that--\\

'''Joe''': We don't even need his whole hand.\\
