* BaitAndSwitch: After Trigger attacks Sarabeth, Kathryn angrily tells Evan to bring the dog outside in an evil way, and Evan wonders if she will deal Trigger ''[[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals horribly]]''. But she was actually just requesting that he bring the dog outside so that Trigger could hang out there for the rest of the trip. Evan is ''highly'' relieved by this, yet he did not want Trigger staying out here like this, as he was more of a house dog. Still, Evan didn't want to provoke Kathryn anymore, so he reluctantly obeyed her orders.

* CatScare: One of the first in the franchise. Evan is in a room at Kathryn's house trying to find something to entertain himself, and he pulled open a door in a closet, only for something to leap out at him and he thinks that he is being attacked by an unknown monster.

Evan tried to stop him, but Trigger was quite disobedient, and took after this squirrel. The squirrel then wisely climbed up a tree.

He is ''not'' happy about this. Luckily for him, he heard the conversation commencing, and so he decided to duck out of there at the moment, which made his parents never realize that he was listening nearby.
